Which Steel ?

[Milzy]

Do I go for the Ribble 525 with all campag & my own build or do I go for the genesis equilibrium 20 with 105?

I can get cycle to work on the Genesis but I'd rather have the Ribble with campag.

So I can get what I really want or save about £300 tax on something still good.

can you get to try both ?

on paper Genesis gets my vote but wouldnt sign on the line till i tried both

Genesis with Campagnolo if you've the £££

The Genesis, 105 is a good set up and I fitted Campagnolo to 1 of my bikes ( Centaur/Record mix) and its very agricultural compared to Shimano. I only did it cos the 653 frame was fitted with a Campy headrace and seat post when I bought it.

I'm after the Genesis 20 myself. The 2015 bikes have been announced. Not sure if Genesis have them on their website yet, but there is info about them somewhere - on their Facebook I think... Not sure how the 2015 are in relation to the 2014. Not sure that I would want 28c tyres though which I think come on the new ones. Lovely black for 2015 which I like!

Genesis 20...SRAM on mine. This years red model is gorgeous, say no to black

I've been looking at this, but not mad on disk brakes unless I'm on a MTB. Still I may hold out & try it.

That one's got regular tektro calipers.

As opposed to 105 calipers, no contest 105 every time

Yeah, just get acetone to the shimano logo on campag bikes

How did you know I'd done that, have I got a stalker or is it common practice

Common practice.

Common practice.

I just hadn't got the money and happened to have a pair of 105s in the shed before the Campagnolo velominati descend on me.
