Andy Lennard is a cycle instructor and trainer based in London. He has built up an Equilibrium frame and fork with Campag componentry and it looks great, I always thought that an Equilibrium frame built up with silver campag kit would look lovely and Andy's fine build has proven that the Reynolds steel frame and Italian componentry are a fine match indeed. Here is what Andy had to say about his lovely new ride and he was king enough to send us some shots of the build.
As a Project Manager and Cycling Instructor for Cycle Training UK I often travel across London meeting various trainees and clients. I needed a frame that could easily iron out the bumps of the city streets, but at the same time, be fast and light enough to train on at weekends. I chose the Genesis Equilibrium because of its quality lightweight Reynolds tubing, ride and looks. The option of being able to buy the 'frame and fork only' meant that I could build it to my own specification. I'm a big fan of Campagnolo and their classic yet contemporary styling. The Campagnolo components and the Genesis Equilibrium are a match made in bike geek heaven!
The Genesis Equilibrium fits the bill perfectly!
Andy, we wish you many long happy rides on your lovely new steed!!

beautiful bike and groupset suits it much better than futuristic 105. Definitely gives it a touch of class. And all rollin on open pros - excellent. Wise choice dear boy and a bike to see you through many seasons. I may do the same build myself except veloce all round and campy wheels to match.anonymouse said

lovely bike and set up. Could you easily attach a back pannier rack? Would you recommend this model for audax/ light touring?Justin said

So it's possible to put the campagnolo brakes on the frame? Aren't they supposed to be too short for the 57 mm brake fittings?Nihama said

Am also wondering about the brakes. I can't see any conversion fitted to lower the brakes so how have you achieved it? I'm looking at building almost the same bike and the brakes have been a stumbling block so far so any help would be appreciated.Deadhead said

Headset is from Velo Orange and the Campag Veloce brakes were very carefully dremeled out to increase the length of the slot on the arm for the brake pad stud/nut. I only removed about 2-3mm of material making sure that the nut and washer still covered the bottom of the arm and didn't overhang. Pads sit pretty much perfect on the rim but the pads are at the lowest they can go.Andy said

LOVELY!! LBS in Bournemouth unwilling to make the Campagnolo brake mods you have done, but would love 'one' to be comfortable with-or mod bracket anyone?- to fit/mod my C'Pag Daytona brakes. Otherwise Shimano R650.s. Would be using my Campagnolo Proton wheels, Daytona groupset, retro MKS pedal/clipset and perhaps 3T bar & stem on RECORD threadless headset if correct. Finally with red Selle Italia seat. I would then sell 57cm Ribble SC10A frame ITM,Millenium forks/bar/stem and matching yellow Selle Italia seat for perhaps£125. Any advice gratefully recieved, David.David said
