1 vote for navy front half with the yellow decals!

Restrap? Wish they'd do those bottles in plain black

Page 2, time to start considering your bottle cage choices @Quincy

Thats pretty good, considering that theres a fair bit of stuff on there that could be swapped for lighter bits!

Also cut the steerer

these are really nice, I always struggle with processing black and white with a nice level of shadow detail while still having a good level of contrast! particularly like the first one

^ this, how heavy is the touring, do you want to use racks etc, or do you plan on bikepacking?

Also @user85857 9kg for a CDF is pretty good going considering the frameset is about 3kg from what i remember, got any pictures?

I've used Print Space, but other than their niche items I didn't find them any better than ProAm, where an 18x12 is £1.25 (not too indulgent)

While I do work for theprintspace so you may see this as slightly biased, I just wanted to add a little to this.

While ProAM do seem very affordable and run a similar structure to us (DIY file preparation drastically reduces the cost) their only real comparative product is their "large format" section under "fine art prints" where they also dont mention the inks they use or the archival quality of their products, which leads me to assume that they dont use archival inks and that their products would not last as long.

Otherwise they do actually seem like they're pretty good, not many companies that offer cheaper prints like this also offer the ability to control the accuracy that you'd get from a pro lab (using paper profiles)

they're also in bradford which means they have cheaper rent I suppose!

Or if you want it in black then you can get it for £7.50 plus post on Planet X

*edit, having looked at google, you can get the black steel version even cheaper on ribble

Habe you considered BB drop? Is a 650b/1.75 equivalent to a 700c/23-28c ?

Lets see these pictures then!

In terms of control i guess you mean? but space wise (with what @Ecobeard is working with it) seems like it'd offer him more.

Haha, hint of sarcasm there?

Are the forks not drilled at the crown? For shopping duties you'd be better off with a flat rack on the front or a wald IMHO

Is that rack attached at the headtube? Surely that is going to cause issues with turning the bars when its loaded with pretty much anything?

Chucked a small donation in, you sound like an inspiring guy its good to see that you've still got a good sense of humour.

Chapeau, best of luck!

also Is it hayfever season already?

That would look a bit 🍆🍆🍆

Red to Yellow fade decals on the drab 😏

so you did! Haha, damn, if they fit can i buy them back ;)

Its also been asked a few times in the genesis owners thread

Wheels sold to kwdm, thanks mate, Nice to meet you!

As ive got the equilibrium frame i'm intrigued to see the 650bs in there, I had a set and that was my initial intentions also but realistically whats the point of squeezing a 38 and a 35 in there max at 650b (I guess this doesn't account for space for guards?) When you can probably fit 32s in at 700c (gonna try this myself soon)

If you want 650b and wider tyres I'd go with the CDF, but do you need them? Do you plan on offroading a lot? So far ive done some pretty rough stuff on 28s with guards on the equilibrium and been fine (apart from when it got real muddy and clogged up the gaps in the guards)

Fixies are dead m8

Ugliest moots I think I've ever seen!
Looks like a 2010 Carerra MTB with drop bars added on as an afterthought

How do you plan to re-space the rear to 135mm?

Have considered selling it and buying an actual do it all frame?

Yours & mine are more angular though, which i think is why it doesnt work all that well in this case!

Well i'm glad you tried it atleast as i have basically the same bars and was considering the same thing on an upcoming project ;)

Thats even better, looked much better with the mtb stem, even if you only flipped the bars it would look better IMO (and im sure it would handle nicer too)

Surely dropping the stem a bit and flipping the bars will look a lot nicer? Especially when you've got the new brakes on!
