Thanks
Catwalk, if you still have that Kirk die-cast magnesium frame, please do not sell it. I was turned on by those kirk frames when they first came out. I rode one at a Long Beach bike show and it was one of the smoothest bikes I've ever felt. As a Registered Engineer I found all the curves and design features almost pornographic. I will be getting some money soon and badly want one of those frames refinished in white and equipped for formal club fun rides. Anyone else out there who wants to sell a frame to a loving home?
EDIT: 8 months later: I have found that the early Kirks had teething problems and the company did not outlast them. I would still like to have a frame to mount on a wall and fondle
