1989 Kestrel MX-Z

[mkozaczek]

Thought I'd share this build. Not a type of bike I build very often, and yet I'm rather proud of the result.

There's a somewhat eclectic mix of parts. I set out to do a all carbon (available at the time) type of build, but the NP bars didn't fit in the stem and the rear brake booster wasn't needed and looked sort of silly. So, hubs and post are all I could muster in the end.

Re:

blumin gorgeous, I am bias tho

I tried the fork for a while but found the angles a bit ........ slack, went back to switchblades after that.

It does look like the offspring of my two kestrels

Very very nice!! It looks so much more classy in white.
Not a big fan of the stem, but it defo needs some rise of your saddle is this high.
