VPI Posted April 9, 2013 Report Posted April 9, 2013 Got my receiver hitch put on and built up the Kuat. This thing is seriously sexier than any of my bikes. Quote
Nebby Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Got my receiver hitch put on and built up the Kuat. This thing is seriously sexier than any of my bikes. That rack is beautiful. I'll have to look at getting a hitch for my car, I don't like how my current bike rack sits on my trunk's spoiler. Quote

guzziguy Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Just talked to my sister and my niece isn't quite as unscathed as I thought. She definitely has a broken ankle and possibly a broken patella. To go with those, she has beaucoup road rash on her butt and back. Apparently she was riding down a hill at 35 mph, hit a bump and lost control. Quote
MexicanDragon Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Ouch. Sorry to hear, Ken. **BRENT** Quote
VPI Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 That is terrible. Those bumpy downhills can be a bit disconcerting. Quote
boomana Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Posted April 10, 2013 pigmode, your back must be doing better! Jeff, that is a beautiful bike rack. Shows off your very beautiful bikes. I'm more than happy with mine, but it's fugly. Quote
Dreadhead Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Nice rack Jeff. Those Kuat racks are beautiful. I half regret I didn't choose to do a rest on type rack for my civic but did a more standard hanging rack. Quote
pigmode Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 pigmode, your back must be doing better!Recovery is coming along, but not complete. No big ring hill repeats yet. Quote
Dreadhead Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Finished up a 18+ mile lunchtime loop with the group that rides here at the base. Lots of climbing and hard. They do it everyday and are in much better shape than me. Was a lot of fun other than feeling guilty for holding them back. Quote
pigmode Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 ^ Perfect group to tighten up your game with! 1 Quote
boomana Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Posted April 10, 2013 I wish I could do a noontime ride. Today, my frame got Fed Exed to Joe Bell. Today, Dave announces this: This year, 2013, marks the tenth anniversary of the Kirk Frameworks Co. To celebrate this milestone I will be offering a limited edition of 10th Anniversary specials. The production of these special 10th Anniversary Specials will be limited to ten bikes in total and once these ten are sold no more orders will be taken for this model. The 10th Anniversary Specials will be unique versions of the JK Special lugged road race bike and will be equipped with the curved Terraplane seat stays. These framesets will be made to measure and will be built with many features unique to the project. The exact specifications are still being finalized - below is a list of the frameset’s features – • 10th Anniversary paint scheme by Joe Bell • 10th Anniversary Kirk graphics • 10th Anniversary special lug shaping • 10th Anniversary head badge • 10th Anniversary front and rear dropouts • 10th Anniversary brake bridge • 10th Anniversary brass cable adjusters • Includes painted to match stem • Each frameset will be signed and numbered At this point the final price is not 100% firm but I expect it to be about $5000 for the frame and fork set. None of the features that make this 10th Anniversary bike unique will ever be repeated. Di2/EPS internal wire routing is a no cost option. Special pricing will be available on my favored build kits based on top of the line Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram components. I’m expecting to deliver these late in 2013 or early 2014 so they will no doubt be ready for the 2014 riding season. I will be taking ten deposits only and making a list of names of those interested should someone in the queue need to give up their spot. Please contact me with any questions you might have and I’ll do my best to right back to you. Thanks so much for all the support over the past ten years and here’s to the next ten! My timing sucks.

MexicanDragon Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Buy that too, Vicki. **BRENT** Quote
boomana Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Posted April 10, 2013 I think I'm done for a few years. Quote

Pars Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Seems like I heard that after the Gunnar... just sayin' 1 Quote
n_maher Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Vicki, I saw that and thought of you. Every Kirk is a one-off original, I wouldn't sweat that you aren't getting a badge on yours or some never to be duplicated whatever bits. Quote
parris Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 After NOT buying a new road bike for 20 years I got my Kirk last year and upon seeing the announcement thought... "hmm I've got better than 1/2 saved for one of those". M U S T R E S I S T!!! Quote
grawk Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 Welcome to head-case, where the motto is dew eet Quote
MexicanDragon Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 HC is going to have at least one of these Kirks, so it may as well be you, parris! **BRENT** Quote
parris Posted April 11, 2013 Report Posted April 11, 2013 I REALLY think that it should be Vicki! Just think of how sweet a JKS would be with Di2 and some mad fiber wheels... Hmmmm. Now i'm sounding like a crack dealer ) Quote
