Genesis equilibrium, upgraded.

[fossala]

Here are some photos of my genesis equilibrium 10 2011. I have changed the bars and stem to ritchely classics. The saddle too brooks team pro ti along with matching handlebar tape. I have also upgraded my chainset to tiagra double. The seat post is a setback vo to give me enough setback for my brooks. I have also put on some sks mudguards (that I had to use a dremal to fit them) as this is my commuting bike.
Wondering what you guys think.

Any ideas on a pair of wheels for this bike? I don't want thick ones like aksiums.

I like it, I have my heart set on an equilibrium 30 at the moment.

I like the brown leather, looks great.

Equilibriums only have 00, 10 and 20. They are releasing a ti next year though.

Lovely. But what really matters is what you think of it not us!

(I'd have gone black saddle, bar tape and chainset but I like black bikes)

I love it, otherwise I wouldn't of done it up like it.

Handbuilt open sports with the best hub you can afford then flog the rims you have or keep them for winter.

Modern retro looks really nice.

Loving that modern retro look, how about some brushed alloy stem spacers and brown sti hoods to really make it stand out?

I do like them equilibriums!

If I were to get a modern wheel, but still in keeping with its retro looks I woudl get these, and peel the stickers off. Being black on a black bike they shouldnt show the height of the rim too much.

I think what ever lives in that glass case is camera shy
