Bikes: Custom built Ti Litespeed Mtn Bike, Customized Lemond Buenos Aires "01"

2003 Kestrel KM40 Airfoil

This is my custom built 2003 Kestrel KM40 AirFoil Triathlon/Time Trial Bike. The frame is a 52cm carbon fiber w/ Kestrel Pro 650c bladed carbon fork with Dura Ace bar end shifters, Ultegra cranks/derailleurs, HED DEEP rear 650c tubular, HED Jet front 650c tubular, carbon bladed seatpost, Flite saddle, XLab rear bottle/gadget holder. The frame color is called Black Fade where certain areas are black and some are bare carbon fiber. During the time I had this built, the frame only came in two sizes, 52cm and 56cm. I ride a 2001 55cm Lemond Buenos Aires traditional 853 Reynolds frame and a 54cm Steel Single Speed bike. The shop was able to build this 52cm to fit me like a glove .

I only raced it in 2003 and 2004 since work took priority from 2005 to present. I have thought of selling it but have to admit I hate the thought of ever parting with it . This was my dream build that I planned and saved for 3 whole years. I'm in my 40's now and maybe I'll do some short duathlons this year.
