320km: this is how I roll

Carousel short title:

320km: this is how I roll

Me and that Trevor Allen, he of road.cc and Ergon 24 MTB fame, are off on an attempt to cycle back to Colchester from Bath this week – Friday 1st of July to be precise. It's 320km and should be a lorra lorra fun. Either that or a horrific, scarring experience.

Either way, it's the furthest I've ever ridden by a clear 100km. So it's a bit of a trip into the unknown. Here's what I'm riding, and why. Any comments for improving the setup are very welcome...

To be fair, the way the Equilibrium looks you could forgive it if it was an absolute pig to ride. You could ride to your local cafe, sit and have a coffee and just look at it. It really is a beauty to look at in that understated retro classic way that only the British can do. Thankfully it rides like a dream so you can spend as much time on it as looking at it.
