Genesis Equilibrium Disc Build

Finally completed my build on a 2014 Equilibrium Disc frameset acquired via Paul MIlnes Ebay shop. No real problems with the build although the disc brakes took a little time to set up as this was my first attempt at them. Only done a quick 15 miles so far but all seems fine and the 5800 11 - speed is ultra smooth. Before the flamers get involved I know the flipped stem and spacers are not recommended but it works for my aging bones.
