And our last question of the week:
Q8. It's weekly photo time, and almost the equinox. What did you see this week? Share a photo if you'd like. Cycling related or not is fine. Tell us about it!

@ascentale @bikenite A8. This week I built up an old frame to go on the turbo. So I could liberate my summer bike for outside use.
I can't help myself, I've made it too nice and now I want the new turbo bike for outside too ;-)
Dynamo on a turbo trainer!
Looks lovely and lean. Minimal wrap on the bars and keep it looking clean
@MatthewNewell @ascentale @bikenite I knew someone would notice that!
It's my crunchy bearing 60k km+ in all weathers one.
I believe SON service them. But, I'd have to take the hub out of the wheel and pay the post to Germany etc. And I didn't/haven't so far.
I quite like the combo as it makes me nostalgic. This bike & hub did most of my first long rides with me. (Audax SR, London to Paris, Dragon ride, etc). I can't face getting rid of it for peanuts.
Got two of them for my disc brake bike; one is in 650b and other in 700c - not sure I would know what to do without a dynamo on a daily basis.
Re Repairs - I think authorised dealers will do that for you, for a PRICE!
I am probably at same sort of mileage, maybe a shade more on thin/road and less on fat/gravel , but not crunchy or even noisy yet - guess I have been lucky.
Amazing riding in Germany. Do a bike trek and drop it off. Save one set of postage.
I once had to explain that to the staff of a farm shop when they found out I was on a 100mile roundtrip to buy their beans.
I fail to understand how some people think this is a problem
@pete @ascentale @bikenite very good spot especially from that angle.
Yup it's the first revision of the disk Equilibrium. Loved the grey & orange paint. Although paint thickness could be better!
Genesis make great bikes. But, with the steel forks the Equilibrium is definitely more long distance or commuter tank than cafe racer.
In my quest for wider tyres I often wondered if I should have gone fugio.
