I’ve been rethinking the direction of my work lately. This Brutalist is part of that reflection. More compliance. More clearance. Built with Columbus Hyperion titanium tubing. For this one, I went fully analog again — bending, shaping, reinforcing everything by hand. Not as a statement. Just as something I needed to dive deep and test my personal abilities once again. For more details on the pant choice etc. head over to @lab306 latest post.

EQUILIBRIUM ELYSION evolved into a full titanium build, shaped for longer days on real roads. More comfort, more durability, and clearance for bigger tires. The same idea, simply carried a little further. #equilibriumcycles #titaniumbike #handmadeintokyo

ELYSION — redefined. Once a carbon-hybrid pure road machine, now evolved into a full titanium expression of long-distance riding. More compliance, more durability, and increased tire clearance in the future up to 40–42C for real-world roads. Not a new model, but a deeper interpretation — built to go further, for longer.

(ENG below) 아름다운 티타늄의 기준, Equilibrium E1 가장 현대적인 제작법과 가장 고전적인 비율이 만나는 프레임입니다. 티타늄 3D 프린팅으로 완성한 디테일은 유려하고 섬세하며, 손으로 다듬은 튜빙 라인은 절제된 아름다움을 남깁니다. 튜브가 만나는 각 접점의 곡률과 두께, 그리고 전체 실루엣의 균형이 눈에 먼저 들어옵니다. E1은 오직 이퀼리브리움을 위해 콜럼버스가 만든 플래그십 등급, 하이페리온 티타늄 튜빙을 사용합니다. 모든 프레임은 라이더별 커스텀 지오메트리로 설계되며, 그때마다 각 튜빙이 새롭게 주문되어 하나의 프레임을 위해 하나의 조합이 탄생합니다. 기성 튜빙을 억지로 맞추지 않기에, 결과물은 온전히 한 사람을 위한 단 하나의 티타늄 공예에 가깝습니다. 달리는 성격도 이름값을 합니다. 미세하게 달리지는 튜빙 프로파일과 조인트 설계가 흔히 떠올리는 ‘부드럽기만 한 티타늄’의 선입견을 깨고, 반응이 빠르면서도 노면 소음을 잘 걸러냅니다. 페달 입력은 곧바로 추진력으로 이어지고, 리듬은 담담하게 이어집니다. 사진을 넘기다 보면, 한 대의 프레임이 어디까지 정교해질 수 있는지 자연스럽게 느끼게 될 겁니다. ⠀ ⠀ - The benchmark of titanium beauty — Equilibrium E1 This frame brings together the most modern manufacturing methods with the most classical proportions. Details formed through titanium 3D printing are fluid and precise, while the hand-finished tubing lines convey a sense of quiet restraint. What stands out first is the harmony of the junctions — the curves, wall transitions, and the overall balance of the silhouette. The E1 is built exclusively with Hyperion, Columbus’s flagship titanium tubing developed solely for Equilibrium. Every frame begins with rider-specific custom geometry, and for each build, the tubing set is individually specified and ordered. Nothing is forced into a predefined standard. Each frame is the result of a unique combination, created for one rider alone — closer to bespoke titanium craftsmanship than mass production. Its ride character lives up to the name. Carefully tuned tube profiles and joint design challenge the familiar perception of titanium as simply “soft.” The E1 responds instantly to pedal input while filtering road noise with impressive composure. Power translates directly into forward motion, and the ride maintains a calm, unforced rhythm. As you move through the photos, you’ll sense just how far a single frame can be refined. #LAB306 #equilibriumcycleworks #equilibriumE1 @equilibriumcycleworks ⠀

Thank you to everyone who visited us at the Japanese Handmade Bicycle Fair. Your time, conversations, and trust mean a great deal to us. We move forward with renewed focus, clear values, and a deep commitment to the work ahead.

Equilibrium at the annual Japanese Handmade Bicycle Show (@handmadebicyclefair )this weekend. Built in Japan, one frame at a time, with care and intention. Stop by and see our latest work. いよいよ明日、皆様とお会いできるのを楽しみにしています！ ハンドメイドバイシクル展 1/24 10-16:50 1/25 9:30-16:30 場所:科学技術館(東京都千代田区北の丸公園2-1)

(ENG below) 🍃 Equilibrium Brutalist Adventure 길 위의 하루를 여행으로 바꿔 주는 이퀼리브리엄 브루탈리스트 어드밴쳐를 소개합니다. 이번 구성은 SRAM RED 1x XPLR과 ENVE G23 휠로 완성했습니다. 도쿄에서 핸드메이드로 제작된 하이엔드 티타늄 프레임은 특유의 차분한 분위기가 매력입니다. 잘 짜인 지오메트리는 속도가 붙어도 라인을 흔들지 않고, 빌더의 노하우가 담긴 완만한 곡률의 시트스테이가 거친 노면에서 여유와 승차감을 더해 줍니다. 긴 구간에서도 리듬이 고르게 이어집니다. 핵심은 넉넉한 타이어 클리어런스입니다. 어드벤처라는 이름에 걸맞게 700×50c까지 대응하며, 낮은 공기압에서도 접지와 편안함을 확보합니다. 포장과 비포장, 도심과 임도를 자연스럽게 오가며 그래블 레이스부터 주말 투어, 가벼운 바이크패킹까지 한 대로 담아낼 수 있습니다. 티타늄의 매력은 시간이 지날수록 또렷해집니다. 생활 스크래치에 덜 민감하고 표면 복원이 쉬워 컨디션을 오래 유지하기 좋습니다. 탄성은 잔진동을 부드럽게 걸러 주고, 가속을 걸면 페달 입력을 곧장 속도로 바꿔 줍니다. 과장을 보태지 않아도 프레임의 완성도가 주행 품질을 설명합니다. 사진을 넘기며 타이어 클리어런스, 콕핏 밸런스, 용접과 마감 디테일을 차례로 확인해 주세요. 일상의 출퇴근과 카페 라이드, 주말 그래블 여행까지 이 한 대면 충분합니다. 😌 ⠀ ⠀ - Meet the Equilibrium Brutalist Adventure, built with SRAM Red XPLR AXS 1x and ENVE G23 wheels. Handmade in Tokyo, this high-end titanium frame has a calm, understated presence. Balanced geometry keeps the line true as speed builds, and the gently curved seatstays add poise and comfort when the surface gets rough. The rhythm stays even, mile after mile. Headlining the build is generous tire clearance—up to 700×50c. Run lower pressures for grip and comfort and move easily between pavement and dirt, city streets and fire roads. From gravel races to weekend tours to light bikepacking, one bike does it all. Titanium’s appeal only grows with time. It shrugs off everyday scuffs, is easy to touch up, smooths small-bump chatter with its natural elasticity, and turns pedal pressure into clean, immediate speed. No hype needed—the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Swipe to see tire clearance, cockpit balance, and the welds and finishing details up close. For commuting, café spins, and weekend gravel escapes, this one build is all you need. 😌 - 🍃 Build Details ⠀ ⠀ • Frame : Equilibrium Brutalist Adventure • Barstem : Enve SES AR One-piece Handlebar • Saddle : Bjorn Setka • Drivetrain : Sram Red 1x XPLR E1 • Crankset : Sram Red 1x XPLR E1, 40T, DUB, with power meter • BB : CeramicSpeed Alpha • Wheel : Enve G23 • Tire : Vredestein Abentura 40c • Bottlecage : King Cage ⠀ @equilibriumcycleworks ⠀ #LAB306 #equilibriumcycleworks #gravelbike #titaniumbike
