Hi, I've put together a brief video to help sell my bikes on eBay, but thought that some of you would be interested to see them in more detail (set to suitable music of course!). In the near future I'm planning to add all of the x-ray, development and internal shots too...

Hi, I've just posted my rare Kirk Precision MTB on eBay and thought some of you might be interested. I'm also selling an immaculate Kirk Revolution DX and I've put together a brief video on Youtube to show them both off. The links are below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ach5KMncA...

The Kirk will always be a marmite bike, but you can't deny it was a bold design for the time and the advertising was very clever. How many retro bikes have had a 4x4 driven over them on Tomorrow's World? The Kirk Precision was a great piece of kit and mine still rides beautifully today...

The top tube, seat and chain stays are solid, but the rest is hollow. I'll do another couple images and put some of the material thicknesses on it, as there's definitely room for weight improvement! As for cutting it, I didn't have to worry too much about it bursting into flames, as it's a...

I've finished cutting up a Kirk frame and posted the pics on my webpage - http://www.haydn-automation.co.uk/Kirk-Internals.htm Just look at how thick the magesium is around the bottom bracket!

I did make it, but I turned up late, did the 50miler and then had to dash straight home afterwards. There were quite a few stares and a couple of people asked about the bike, which is always nice. Regarding lightness, my one weighs about 10.9kgs and it was a lot more before the...

Thanks, the first official ride will be this weekend at the St Edmunds Wheel in Suffolk and the bike is a great attention grabber! Once you've completed your Kirk build, you'll have to send me some pics and I'll add your bike to the Kirk gallery. White bikes with modern components and aero...

Long overdue, but I've finally upgraded my Kirk Precision with a new groupset and wheels. Even though the bike looks a darker pink, I've not done anything to paint job, it just depends on how good the camera is! Simon.

Thanks, that's great, any other companies out there that make these types of bike?

Hello, can anyone recommend a bike builder who can create custom, funny or novelty bikes - preferably in Cambridgeshire. We're after some bikes that have offset hubs, steer in the opposite direction, are articulated etc for using as demo bikes at shows. Thanks, Simon.

A spray over doesn't mean it was originally a different colour, just that it needs sprucing up a bit. It's original colour was red, have a look at the pics on my website. Some bikes were specially sprayed for promotional reasons, like the fluorescent pink Kirk Precision I own.

The chap didn't paint over the original white, it was used by The Air Marshall team, there's a pic of it on my Kirk website http://www.haydn-automation.co.uk/Kirk-Brochures.htm and the frames came in a number of different colours. White just happened to be the most common one in the UK. It...

I only have only spare front and rear mech hangers for the Revolution and I do try and reply to any queries as soon as possible, but it isn't my day job and a service I offer in my spare time in the hope that I can keep Kirk bicycles on the road. I have tried modifying the Revolution hangers...

Thanks, a set of Girvin's or Look Fournales would be good too :D

Correct :D and I meant to drop you a line, seeing as you're listed as Cambridge too. Were you on the Reach ride?

I've yet to find a camera that can show how stunning these bikes are, they all struggle with this shade of pink - it's much darker and stronger in the flesh. The full specs are below and the rest of the images are on my website: Frame: Magnesium Alloy (6.25lbs or 2.85kgs) Fork...

Russell, it was a bit of head turner for both good and bad reasons, but it only had a 1.4 mpi k-series in it. It's possible to fit a 1.8 in there though :-) @retrojon I've just weighed the Kirk frame and it's about 6.25lbs or 2.85kgs. Glad to hear the frame mod has worked out for you...

The rest of the x-ray pics are on my website, they're not the best quality, but they do show some interesting problems with these frames. I've also got some other pics on the way, that I think you'll find interesting too...

Just a taster, but once I've set up a decent light table I'll add the rest. Regards, Simon.

It's even brighter in the flesh and I'll try and get some better pics soon, it draws loads of attention and I'll be riding in a few events this year (the Norwich 50 is the first one). Busy as always Kev, but at least I've got a road bike now and should be able to keep up on any future rides :D
