New Kirk Shipped...
Should be received and built up by end of next week. Probably won't have a chance to take pictures of just the frame... so next pics will be all built up.

Here's a pic.

Stunning! Can't wait to see the rest of the build...what color saddle and tape are you putting on that?

Right now, I have this fizik saddle and this seat post in mind. I think the red should match the chris king somewhat. Note sure what color tape I'll put on it, at this point. Hoping that once everything else is on, I'll get a 'feeling' of what color tape.

I'm not jealous, just envious. Distinct.

Love white bikes! Search the thread and post when complete. Kirk is on my wishlist of two--Dave still turns them around rather quickly, and time is on my side.

FWIW...I had a wet painted white bike ages ago. Had some brake pad drippage on the seat stays while riding in the rain one day that permanently stained the paintjob. Probably not a bad idea to keep that baby waxed.

Is that so bad for a frame made in the USA?



this was my inspiration. I saw this bike while I was in undergrad and I lusted after it, but couldn't afford it at the time. I designed the paint job to be 'inspired by' but not a copy of the Trek.

That's a great looking bike, Matt. I can't wait to see it built and then hear how it rides. Congratulations.
