If you enjoy riding a bike it's the right bike, no matter what it's made of.
I just read your post, and I'd like to know if you are riding a genesis equilibrium with a steel fork. I'm considering buying a frameset, and most options are with a carbon fork, though you can get it with a steel fork, which I believe it's made by Tange. What are your impressions?
Thank you.
Marco.
