The Two Bicycles of Varonha.

Like the Caletti, not too dissimilar to my Day One. Got plenty of time to make my final decision.

I sold my CDF and now have a Holdsworth reynolds 853 frame, but it's pure black and a bit boring, so may be getting a paint soon enough too..

Is it the Brevet 853? Full bike or just frameset? Does look a bit understated.

It was an Elan prototype, so a one off build by planet x. All elan are now Cro-Mo.. so 853 reynolds frame, carbon fork (planet x green thing) and 1 x 11 sram hydro with vision 30 wheels.. I love it and rides fast.. but all black frame - no decals is very boring..

New project on the horizon. Building a studio/bike shed, therefore (unfortunately) one of my rides has to go (for funding), and I've decided it has to be the Equilibrium, so if anyone wants a complete bike, give us a shout. £650 posted. Full spec on page 9, with a few changes, saddle, tyres and bars (changed saddle to a spesh riva, bars are Deda rhm02, tyres are 28mm gravel kings, also comes with a 40t narrow/wide, also included are 46/36 rings and ultegra 6800 front derailleur).

No splitting?

Unfortunately not.

Sad to see it go, it's a smart build! Might be worth posting it in:

Good idea.

I’m interested. Posted from where?

Cheshire. Where are you?

In London’s famous London.
Will let you know.

No problem. Just let me know either way. Cheers. Jon

Any recommendations for a mtb flat bar?
Considering changing bars on the cross check for the winter months, have brake levers already and have spotted a shifter that will do the job.

Chain reaction do a flat and a riser where the sweep, rise etc match other things on the market and they're under 15 quid.

Ended up on SJS, got meself some Humpert moon bars and some new brake levers. The left barrel adjuster on mine has stripped threads, so from parts bin to bin it went.

Due to running voluminous rubber the Trp cx 8.4s I got off @Hulsroy don't quite cut it, straddle cable lacks a bit of clearance. £55 posted (what I paid for em).

Black Friday offer on trp cx8.4s

edit: cx8.4s now sold.

If I were to consider splitting my Equilibrium, would there be much interest in the frameset, chainset/groupset and wheels?
Don't really want to end up with a frame and no bits, so would like frameset to go first. Would be after 200 + postage uk.

Or alternatively, 550 for the complete bike posted uk.

In other news, pics of my custom panniers, made by Jon of Mack Workshop fame, will appear shortly. I highly recommend him for bicycle luggage, especially custom stuff, he met my brief perfectly,price and customer service is spot on too.

What's the new build?
