I know we all love a "spotted on ebay" thread.

Unfortunately the geometry just didn't suit me.

I'm not surprised.

Of course it's unthinkable that someone might need a shorter reach and come up with their own solution.

It that's the best you have...

It took me a while to spot that. If I hadn't had forwarding to look for something I don't think I would have seen it at all. Are you the bike version of a super-recogniser?

With an effective 78 deg STA, it’s the perfect Enduroist’s Sportive bike.

with all the clamor for steeper seat tube angles, I thought this would be right up STW's strasse?

Hang on a mo, isn't the only reason seatposts are set back is the UCI has a mandatory BB-saddle distance horizontally to prevent positions like Obre and Boardman took like the Superman, praying mantis etc? Admittedly a Genesis equilibrium probably isn't the bike to be trying it on.........

Plenty of triathlon bikes have a second position on the seatpost though.

e.g.

There's even the aero equivalent of the dropper post,
