Re:
Just scored a mint LX equipped Kirk for the princely sum of £50
One of those that gets bought and then ridden once or twice* and then left in the garage
*LGF will tell me that's because they came to their senses fairly quickly.... But not soon enough to return it and get their money back

Re:
well here's #2
came for £50 and in a near NOS state, paid almost three times that price for a set of folding Z-Max tyres :shock:
that said if I advertised both we all know which would get the most interest and sell ...... and it wouldn't be the Kirk
anyway heres #2
Aside from a couple of small scuffs the only really noticable wear/patina is on the Brakes /STI shifters
torn between leaving as is, or swapping over the XT....... Decisions Decisions

Re: Captain Kirk’s Mag Revolution.. Part II (gone back for more)
I remember having a go on one of these at the Thetford meet back in 2009(?)
Sitting in the saddle hands on bars and feet on floor you could (on this one) make the front triangle flex to the point that I didn't turn a pedal
By contrast I had a sit on Danson's road bike version of one of these and it seemed a lot stiffer ..... Oh really Mrs ......
Still not going to be making it on to my short list anytime soon.
Nick - cracking job again on the build - that obsessiveness you have seems to transcend all warps of retro fancyness .... Well maybe not down to 200gs .....
Bringing this to MM?

Re: Captain Kirk’s Mg Revolution...ended with a crack !
To be honest if I parted this out I think I'd get close to getting most of my money back, and the driving factor was a quick and cheap route to sourcing a spare part for my original one, that said this ones in even better shape and two years newer than #1.
