i like that .

white might not be the best colour for winter though

Preferred the black seatpost, white saddle combo from an aesthetic point of view.

Nice to see you're getting out and putting in the miles, I must try to get out of the workshop and try that myself one of these days....

Randomly I snapped the carbon post. Not under any stress either. The Thomson was spare and on it went! The Flite is 100% comfier tooo

Genesis? I'm looking forward to the new Reynolds 953 road bike which their Roger Hammond-managed squad are supposed to be using for the 2013 season. Brave move bringing steel back into the domestic Elite peloton (Huw Pritchard beat a youthful Wiggo, no less, in the Lincoln Grand Prix riding a Condor 853 rig for Angliasport, but that was a decade ago....), hope they make a good go of it!

Rapha Condor have been dipping in and out of using steel frames for a couple of seasons now with their very nice (aka bordering on bike porn) Accacio: http://road.cc/content/news/68301-c...ion-new-baracchi-and-acciaio-stainless-frames

As you say good to see steel still stepping up to the mark and taking modern plastic bikes on.

Carbon seatposts can be a pain in the bum, no pun intended. I had loads of trouble with my pillar (no-name Campag Record lookalike) seizing in the seat tube, despite having heeded all the usual assembly advice (no grease, WD40 etc. as it encourages a stuck carbon post).

I'll be interested to see how you get on with the Genesis.

I was contemplating the titanium Equilibrium, but early reports say it is harsh and not as nice a ride as the 725 frame, so that's out the window.
