  Nice to see thru axles, and the ever fashionable purple, but I think I'll wait until the next big industry change to cage mount standards, from the current 64mm spacing to 52.5mm spaced oval-press-stud-magmounts™ before I upgrade framesets

  I don't understand the pricing logic of the full bikes Vs framesets, the equilibrium disc frameset is £949, but a full 105 build is £2399
  Surely you could put an equal spec build together for less, or a much better spec for the same price? Also, the non disc complete is £700 cheaper?

• Mike Burrows urban prototype

  There's one on the ig link.
  I understand how it works now after seeing the photos on insta, tensioning similar to an eccentric BB but at the hub end.
  It's a really cool looking thing. I guess it's less flexy than the strida bike I used to own. That was really weird to ride.

  thanks! really cool to see it from a few different angles.
  did you manage to get the original geo from mike burrows in order to build a new one after yours was stolen? (i'm assuming you never recovered the one you owned before)

  Pleased you were able to make another one, any detail of manufacture?
  I'd love to see a photo of it from the rear to be able to appreciate how misaligned the rear wheel is
