Commuter/roadie build - Equilibrium disc 2016

Like how they sell frankly underrated sam smith beers as 'craft' beers in Australia.

Underrated or overrated?

Australia or London?

Yeah, so close to the equilibrium release as well...
Only a month to go... (Ish)
But yeah probably is more cx than road. The orange paintwork was nicer as well anyway actually.

Can't you just use the black bands from the norm garmin mount?

Probably! These ones seem a little thicker but I'll try em out

Just spoken to a bike shop that are expecting stock of the equilibrium disc frameset... In January...

Fuck. Winter build >>> summer build...

Who releases a 2016 model in 2016!? Haha.

rly? Datum is coming earlier than that ..

Yeah spoke to Genesis on their Facebook. Might just be steel frames or it may just be the equilibrium disc.

Just spoken with Freeborn cycles, if you're willing to wait and pre order they offered me 15% off rrp, obviously I'm not after one, but thought it may be of use to you.

Oh that's awesome! I'll give them a call! I did call them the other day and they tipped me off about the delay which led me to talk to Genesis. I'd much rather spend 15% less especially if I'm waiting longer... Haha

Commuting in carbon have its drawbacks... If I had the space I'd get a steel bike just for locking it and panniers.

Think datum is out of my circa £500 budget as well anyway... =[

wasnt saying you should get a datum .. i was just wondering because thats dropping much early

When's it due? December? Suppose January isn't that far away for some proper steel... Probably gonna preorder it after hearing I can save 15%.

I've heard November ..

That was what Genesis said about the equilibrium. You thinking of getting a datum? They are pretty active on Facebook chat and reply fairly swiftly.

Gave Freeborn cycles a call. Mentioned the discount and they were more than happy. Ordered! Finally...!

Can't wait to see it!
Anyone know the record for no. pages without the owner's F+F in a CP thread, haha?

Haha. I hope I win.

Good to hear. Roll on new year.

I think you're still a few pages behind The Time Machine and possibly Ed's Oak...

I'll try harder next time then!
Can't wait to get it built up and get riding it. I would have liked to have had it a little sooner so I can commute more comfortably over December but oh well!

Another update...
I bought mudguards last week.
I was gonna spend some ££ and get some PDW guards but then I found these...!

Really nice and solid in the flesh. Also, dirrrrrrt cheap.

The latest:
Need to get the headset pressed in and the crown race pressed on.
But it's here! Finally! The 7 month impatient anxious wait is over!
