My summer commuter.

Genesis Equilibrium

Ultegra 6700 group with DAce shifters and front mech.
Ksyrium Elite wheels
Bontrager race xxx lite carbon stem
FSA SLK compact handlebar
Cane Creek 110 headset (IMHO the best)
Charge spoon Ti saddle
Spesh carbon seatpost.

Words cannot begin to describe how comfortable this is to ride!

Cracking build. Great bikes!

I really like the look of your bike; its got a restrained almost retro look to it.The simplicity in paint job is very elegant.

Thanks.

This was going to be my year round bike. However after I built it up, I decided that I wanted to keep this frame for a really long time. Can't bring myself to put it through the worst of the British weather.
I have now decided to sell my carbon frame (Spesh Roubaix Expert) and I'll get an Alu Giant Defy (probably the new black Defy 0) for most of my commuting.

Looks like great fun to ride. No excuses for being late for work, though

Funny you say that! I was late yesterday cause I took a detour on my way in to work.

Hi, why not just commute on the spesh?

My work mate used to do that on his Giant Composite. Someone dropped a massive d-lock on his seat-stays at the bike hanger. Great big chip off the lacquer.
From then on, always paranoid about the integrity of the stay. Difficult to sell on.
