  • From the sounds of it, will ride very similar to my CDF. Considering replacing my 853 Donohue with something that’ll clear tyres bigger than 23, finding a frame builder to modify the Donohue being another option (just needs a wee dent in the seat tube). Doesn’t sound like 725 equilibrium is the one. Thanks for the feedback.

  • for what it's worth, an equilibrium behaves waaay more like a road bike than a cdf, but compared with what you want to replace, it won't be as snappy.

  • You could try to find an 853 equilibrium?

  • Nooo, don't sell your Donohue! I vouch for some crimping.

    23mm is pretty tight though, where is it tight? Do you think you'd be able to eke out up to a 32mm? I can fit 25mm tyres on mine, & that feels comfortable enough if you get some nice ones with supple tyre walls.
