Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Anyone know about Clark Kent frames?

My buddy gave me what I believe to be a 62cm Clark Kent AX-1. It's WAY too big for me but I want to sell it and split the profit with him. Not sure if it's worth anything, here's a pic. It has down tube shifters, you think this thing is sellable?

C-K made some Ti frames for Lemond, before the latter moved on to another short termed situation with Calfee. The C-K Ti frames were sweet, affordable and featured the true slack angled/long TTed Lemond geo from his glory days.

I don't think this one is ti, I think ti's some sort of aluminum or alloy.

[Do] you think this thing is sellable?

I'd check with the guys in the SS/Fixed forum...

I suspect there is someone out there who would like it.

Why not just put it up on Ebay, and see who bites??
