Two of the best in the business. If ever have another frameset built for me then it will likely be a JKS-X!

Great story, Tim. I wish you 14 more years of enjoyment!

This is a good reminder that almost any frame can be brought back to life. A lot of changes can be made, also, especially when the frame is steel.

Sparky/Steve, the color is a bit of a hybrid and its true name and number are mysteries. JB once told me it started as Putzmeister Green (German heavy equipment mfr.) but it clearly has morphed away from that bright green. I know it's not Bianchi Celeste, but it's close. Sorry I can't be of more help.

JB has always referred to that color as Putzmeister with me too. I'm sure it has a color number but I have zero clue of that it is.

I'm glad you have your bike back and that you can enjoy riding it again. "Life" means life and we are proud to stand behind the work.

Have fun!

Great story and gorgeous bike.

You call also call that color "every 3rd sportfish boat at the Ft Lauderdale Boat show," but obviously it's way more unique on a bike and the accent color is a phenomenal complement.

If that's not a ringing endorsement for someone curious about ordering a Kirk, I don't know what is.
