Can’t wait to build this baby up! Just need to source some drivetrain bits.

Looks ace!

thats the thinnest carbon frame i’ve ever saw 😉

Really nice. I wanted one of these for my winter bike but had to settle for the aluminium aether due to budget. It’s the same geometry as the equilibrium, a very nice ride. Sure the equilibrium will be excellent.

After many months of getting the right parts its finally finished.
Just need to sort out steerer length to get the best posistion but it rides like a dream! Built up with a mix of Campag Veloce, Centaur and Miche hubs.

One word – Mudguards. Or is that two?

The carbonites will be having nosebleeds.

The colour of the frame works well with silver parts.

Not going to mention the white tape / black saddle faux pas.

I’m not too keen on the way you’ve routed that cable along the bottom of the skirting board.

nice build apart from

should be traditional bars not ergo, change the pedals, your cables are very untidy at the front, black saddle white tape as previously mentioned, also the angle of the saddle and most importantly NEVER EVER photograph a roadbike with the chain on the smaller ring,

Was looking at one of these myself. Would have liked some rear rack mounts for versatility to go with the eyelets.

Nice build though.

blackhound have a look at the singular osprey or traitor exile

Spanking new but looks like it came straight out of the 70’s. Love it.

Looks awful IMHO.

😐

Sorry.

Looks awful IMHO.

Constructive.

I like it. Agree about the ergo bars and tape colour but otherwise it’s luvverly

Apologies, I think it looks awful due to the whole missmatched seat/bartape colours, the ergo bars,the loads of spacers under the stem, the whole “’70’s look” does nothing for me at all, the cable routing looks a bit confused, and the choice of pedals looks a bit, well, not my idea.

But like I said, it was all just my honest opnion.

I’ll agree there are still a few of things I would like to change like the saddle for a white one, Conti Gators for Vittoria Rubino’s in black/white and the Ritchey Comp bars which were only £3 new! for some Ritchey Classic drops when funds allow.
As I said at the start I’ve still yet to sort the steerer length. I cant have it too low as I suffer from a bit of lower back pain.
I dont see the point in having two sets of shoes with pedals. I’ve been using these attacks for a good number of years and their still going strong.
Do you think I should go the mudguard route or not?

As for the skirting cable its only temp fix until I have time to sort it properly.

Apart from the mentioned bar/bar tape I think it looks nice 🙂 Makes a change from all the carbon bikes you see.
