One do-it-all bike.

HI there

I have been running a Scott CR1 during summer months for evening/weekend rides, but using my Kinesis Tk everyday for commuting.
Recently I have been using my Kinesis everyday for commuting and including my training on the ride home, I then use my TT bike to race at weekends.
So far my Scott has been used twice this year, so I am going to flog it.

What I am considering, is to keep the Ksyrium SL Premiums off it just to use for evening/weekend rides, but maybe also a frame change.
I could either:-
keep the Kinesis Tk (which is only a couple of years old)
or
get a Genesis Equalibrium frame
or
get a Dolan Dual frame

What do you think? 7

Many thanks

Owen

you'll struggle to get an equilibrium, they're like hen's teeth these days. too many good reviews 1

the TK is a good frame, is it not working for you for any reason?

No, it's a very good frame. Well built. It's quite a harsh ride, and it's not the lightest.
But I suppose weight is relative. It's got to be one of the better alloy frames.

are they going to be making anymore Equilibrium frames this 'season'.. or do we have to wait till Oct/Nov, for the 2011 version?.

if it were me i may go for the Genesis, but saying that the Salsa Casseroll looks like a bit of a doitall, and unlike the Genesis you can run it single speed/fixed as well (horizontal drops, with rear mech hanger)..only £425 f+f
