with that quad crank, what stops you from using that, 12/13 speed rd, heavily modified alfine hub + modified gearbox. soo many gears.

that kirk's got the seatpost fitting rack already!

Not even selling at £10, with xt vs

It's only wafer thin

It's only wafer thin

Very thin, but very pointless IMO. 100% a wall hanger of a frame and a bloody ugly one at that!

But its the epitome of the bicycle dead-end!

It failed to achieve any of the proclaimed benefits, and there was never another mass-market cast frame.

Let's face it, a drawn tube is probably twice the strength at half the weight of an ingot.

Would be interested to see what happens to it if anyone on here picks that Kirk up. I was very tempted but it'd require more cash & time than I've got spare at the moment

You can usually find the value of a Kirk down the back of the sofa
