But the new rollers has made a huge improvement on looks, was running Fulcrum Racing Zero Dark Edition, but will be going up for sale in a few days

You will struggle to find more stopping power than DA.

What frame size is your CLX 3?

Matt or gloss paint?

Looks truly beautiful to me I really do like the CLX frame shape.............

Matt finish

Think DA is the way to go? The only reason i ask is to save some weight with TRP

My commuter with its new wheels as of yesterday (and the newish silver/red chain):

the red/silver chain is awesome - is that a 10-speed jobbie?

No, 9-speed but they do have the red/silver chain in 10 speed (as well as blue/silver and black/silver). KMC also did a limited edition pink/silver for breast cancer awareness but I don't have a pink bike and it wouldn't match.

I'm a Campagnolo devotee but rode a TCR with DA 7900 brakes in a previous life. As much as I love my Campag. Record/Super Record sets, the DA 7900 brakes are the best I've had to use in anger. The TRP calipers may be the bees knees - I can't vouch for them - either way I'd take function over form in the braking dept. any day.........

Summernight- welcome to the Pro Lite Club, good prices and servicing is easy. They look great on the bike

How's that for a saddle/bar drop?

Nah needs a negative rise stem .

Rider must be flexible with a capital F!

I'm 16, it's all good.

Beautiful; welcome to the Equilibrium club. That makes three of us on BNA.

Here's a recent one of mine.

id say both of you guys could use a zero setback post!

saddle rails are pretty slammed back there!

nice pic blkmcs, ans razon, props for having one bike to do it all!

(AT) blkmcs - Nice to see another genesis equilibrium. Very happy with mine. Nice looking bike!
(AT) jaseyjase - still playing with the saddle position atm, expecially when climbing long hills. I often find myself sitting a bit far back just to get comfortable when pedalling on the saddle.

finally got a mtb, went 29'r hard tail, Kona Honzo. Brought it Saturday and took it out to Charles Darwin, had an amazing time, and bike was fantastic

Gave the new MTB a wash. Such a fun bike to ride with the 650B wheels.

Good lord. Got to love Teschner bikes though, Peter Teschner lives a few doors down!

Picked up a Giant Cross City 0 2014 yesterday, haggled 10% off Was intending to get an RX 2013 till I found out that they're definitely more suited for racers

Updated the Race-Lite to 105 5700

So much for a budget commuter

Though I like how it looks

What to upgrade next......

It might be in a half TT setup but you get the idea

My fleet. Well 3/4 of it 'cos I don't have pics of the commuter:


2005 Giant TCR Composite 2 with Gravity Zero 38mm carbon clinchers. Despite the appearance from the attachments, I am not a triathlete! I just used to do a lot of long solo rides.


2012 Giant Anthem X, very custom spec: 2012 model frame & wheels (Shimano Deore XT), 2011 SLX 3x10 groupset, 2013 RockShox Reba fork, mismatched (yes, I know it's against The Rules! )carbon bar/stem/seatpost scrounged off another forum. The primary play bike these days.


The race toy! ThinkHPV Bullet fairing, with custom chassis, also built by ThinkHPV in Bendigo.
