Genesis Equilibrium

Cinelli finishing kit
H Plus Son TB14 rims on 105 hubs and dt spokes (from our own Ugo off this manor)
The wheels really suit the look of the bike and ride as smooth as butter

    Really like that. Thought long and hard about that frame. (you can pick them up for £450) before I pushed the button on my Generic carbon. If I had nt already got a Kaffenbach I'd have gone for one of them or even the 853 version

    Those wheels look the dogs on that frame. Thinking about getting UGO to do me some Archetypes on either a hope hub or an Ultegra for my ride.

    That is gorgeous. Love it. Really want one of those as my "go to bike" will last a life time, and look good for the entirety of it.

    May I ask how much the wheels were and how heavy they are. Looking for some like that...

    Next thing some tan walled tyres... :wink:

    Haven't weighed them... probably 1800 grams or thereabout... Shimano hubs are heavier than the competition... and frankly better

    That's lovely.
    Ugo, what tan wall clinchers are good? Currently running Michelin Pro4, love the ride, not so keen on the way they're starting to split! Time for some Tans on the Colnago
    ....like it's golden

    I have used Open Corsa SC and CHallenge Forte... they both are excellent, but they both have weak side walls, so excellent for good roads, not so for badly damaged surfaces. I scuffed one quite badly on a section of cobbles in Windsor.
    For something more touring, the Panaracer Pasela are more robust, they come in all sizes, down to 23 mm and they are super tyres
