Thanks for this - light enough to be enjoyable to ride I think, but Equilibrium isn't well equipped with useful braze-ons and tabs. Would prefer something with more versatility in this regard - i.e. actually having mudguard and rack mounts... Rychtarski is an interesting idea, but I think my dad is probably too traditional and will want to be able to go and try the frame out before buying...
I think it's the steel part you will struggle with. For example I have a Pinnacle Dolomite 6 as a commuter, it's just a hair under 10kg, aluminium with mudguards and has mounts for a rear rack.
