Photoshoot of the old Kestrel 200 SCI
Grabbed some quick shots of the old Kestrel as I waited for temps to at least get into the 40's so I can take it for a test ride.
How I bought it.
Full build running Ultegra 8000 with Zonda Wheels for now. 18 lbs 12 ozs
Yellow bar tape was the perfect selection
Good paint mostly but a few blemishes on the bike
200 SCI
EMS Fork
Quite the shine on it still
Dropouts in great shape
52/36 crank and not one of the recalled ones.
Oops tape residue on the FD

Gotta find another Kurve Chameleon for this if I like the ride
No clearance for larger tires
11 speeds
Couldn't fit housing liner inside the guides
Beefy front so common on these early C.F. bikes
Usual attention to detail on the cosmetic stuff.
Bars should be comfortable
I think the black housing was the right choice

Replaceable and adjustable FD mount
Zonda goodness. If I like this I may finally splurge for some light BTLOS wheels.
Shiny!
Bold colors with the black, my favorite paint scheme on these.

Beautiful frame and composition! Looks like a lot of tire clearance under each brake bridge/fork crown, which is great (and rare of this era), though it looks snug in some other places. Enjoy!
