Default Bought Another Bike

Not another motorbike though. Splashed out on a new pushbike for the charity ride I'm doing after having some niggles with my old bike, ( cranks knackered and the mounting lugs broken off the frame for the front mech )

So gone from this



To this

Carbon rear and fork fork, Alloy frame full 105 group set.



I'm loving the detailing on the rear hub



Liz got a new bike to

Its a Frank Kirk Precision. that frame is one a limited edition prototype run of 250, Frame design went down bit of a culdesac in the late 80's nearly 90's this is one of the results, its made of magensium.

Is that the one that suffered from a habit of shearing? Mate of mine had one in the nineties that basically snapped in half.

What size motor are you going to fit, frame looks a bit light for an IL4 600... edit - oh, Viney beat me to it, please disregard stupid engine comment

Very odd, but I hear that the fuel consumption is excellent.

Is it just me or were they running out of bar tape when they did your bars on the new treader?

So what are you going to do with the Kirk then? I still have my handbuilt 531c roadbike hanging in the garage - frame is starting to show a bit of rust in patches, rims are no longer true, seat post (campag record like yours ) is jammed in the seat tube - though about gutting it for parts and sticking them on fleabay but probably not worth the hassle - having built it from scratch (apart from the frame) in 1988 I am a bit sentimental about just chucking it.
