Should I...shouldn't I?

[Slick]

I have an earlier version which I love and have just ordered hand built wheels for it to make sure it remains my favourite go to bike. Mine had TRP Spyres which I hated and eventually upgraded to shimano and they have never let me down. I've bought a couple of other so called better bikes since but I keep going back to the equilibrium.

I also like a bargain, so I probably wouldn't even think about it. Get it.

Given that you can, and it's shiny and lovely...
There's a question?

 

[EltonFrog]

Too much black, so it’s a no from me.

 

[DCBassman]

Rats, didn't take the amount of black into consideration.
On the fence...

I really like the Spyres on 2 of my bikes. I’m not keen on fugly big Shimano hydraulic hoods though

Yeah that’s a big issue for me
The 2018 colour scheme is much livelier but even reduced it’ll be £400 more

You’ve got some fine bikes so no don’t get it, you don’t need it!
Irrational thinking Vickster, seek urgent help from a mental health professional.

It's obviously not for you with all that black. Buy it then sell it to a fellow CCer at no extra charge.

Operate a one in, on out policy and you’ll be fine.

I really need to do two out (5 bikes do not fit into a 4 bike Asgard)...I have a pretty much unridden SS
Problem is all the bikes have some sort of sentimental meaning (other than the Boardman)

I don't think my 'source' would approve Nothing personal obviously!

So you mean you couldn't figure it out...?

I knew it was a bike. But there is a lot to choose from.

I have the Genesis Croix de Fer 20. Its a great bike on which I rode the Tuscany Road. They are comfortable, but they are also heavy.

I did mention the Eq and discs cryptically

Yeah, each to their own but for me the small actuating arm on the rear kept sticking on mine and I got fed up of having to stop mid ride to manually release. I know you don't like the hydro hoods, but when you are resting on them, they don't look so big. Despite my dislike for the brakes, I would still get it. 👍

No worse than @Reynard and me - red and white, and the bike's alright.
