    I am still lusting after an equilibrium, anything else out there to consider?

    Also needs mudguards and preferably be at or below a grand.

    Ribble Winter Audax 525s are cheap and good looking. Could probably build a Singular Osprey for a grand.

    Charge plug 3? 749 on wiggle

    £552 if you are happy with a 2014 model (small or large only). Fitting mudguards isn’t that easy due to location of disc calipers…would require a fair bit of bending so I just stuck a raceblade on the back and left the front unguarded.

    Thanks for the offer was was.

    Quite taken with the strada, seems a bit low rent kit for the price though. 9 speed would be ideal as I’ve got loads of spare chains and cassettes assuming I could use mtb stuff

    The strada is a bit industrial but looks very pretty up close and rides quite nice. I’ve only had a quick spin but know someone who borrowed one for a long journey and fell in love even though it was totally the wrong bike for where they were going.

    Why not keep an eye out for a good secondhand from and kit it out with modern components?

    CRC has some beautiful Principia framesets you could easily build up for a grand – have to use raceblades though

    Principia really were the dogs till carbon came along and even now they ride pretty well!

    What about builiding up a nice frame? Singular osprey frame looks very pretty. Or a bob jackson? Both lugged steel

    If that Honky Tonk rides as well as my Paddy Wagon it’ll be ace. There’s something just right about the geometry.
