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.

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