I really wanted a Genesis Equilibrium. I've little interest in road bikes, so it's the only one I actually fancy! I began collecting bits for my Peugeot Competition 500 though, just don't need now or have the urge to road ride at the mo!

Re:

The Genesis is a good solid bike, nothing fancy or particularly lightweight but the fit and comfort are really good. The retro styling appeals to me, for obvious reasons.

Raleigh brought one out as a special edition a year or 2 back, classic styling, modern bits etc..

Hewitt always gets good write ups, also Spa Cycles Audax. Probably at sub-£1000 you are looking at 725, which is the 20st century equivalent to 753...without the cost.

How's that a new bike!!? We could have suggested 100s of options if we knew that we had a 25 year time bracket!

I changed my mind :facepalm:

Again

I was going to get one on the Cyclescheme so it had to be a new bike but saw a Roberts for sale which fits the bill, a nice steel frame with some modern gears and brakes
