So… the Kili came a respectable 4th in March 2022 BOTM…
Very pleased with that against some very stiff competition…
Next up….
I have a black slightly shorter Thomson stem, matching Thomson seatpost and wide bar along with a lovely almost NOS pair of mavic crossrides (the one with the yellow hubs) that I could fit and make this a bit more useable and see how it looks with a few upgrades.
I also have a lovely set of blue SID’s however I like the rigid forks on these Kili’s and the blue and green would be a step too far… that idea lasted all of 30secs
Ultimately I may sell this on as I have other competing hobbies and that will take my cull down to having only one retro bike (my Orange Aluminium Elite)
I’ve got some decisions to make as these retro bikes are always only wall hangers or bikes I tootle to the park on with my kids
But I won’t be too hasty and will give it all some thought. Regardless, I’ve enjoyed bringing this build back to the condition and standard it deserves.
