I am still lusting after an equilibrium, anything else out there to consider?
Also needs mudguards and preferably be at or below a grand.
Kona Honky Tonk?

I'm nearly 50 and a cheap date 🙂 not pretty though 🙁
Ribble Winter Audax 525s are cheap and good looking. Could probably build a Singular Osprey for a grand.
Charge plug 3? 749 on wiggle
Willier strada?
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!
Genesis Volares at Paul Milnes. Check out their eBay listings. 853 frame, carbon fork full build bikes for about 900
Just seen last years Hony Tonk on wiggle for £540 (9 speed)
Looks lovely in the pictures

What about builiding up a nice frame? Singular osprey frame looks very pretty. Or a bob jackson? Both lugged steel
Equilibrium frame in the classifieds...
If that Honky Tonk rides as well as my Paddy Wagon it'll be ace. There's something just right about the geometry.
