kili flyer cromo

So after my failed attempt at landing a kili ti I decided on getting the 853 cromo frame to build up myself.

This will probably take me an age to complete but i thought i would start with posting some pics of the frame

Thats gonna be nice.

Very nice.

These are the Enigma buit frames aren't they?

Wonder why they didn't use the proteam tubing

Hurry up and get it built

Would be interested to know the bare frame weight if you get a chance

I believe they are made by enigma and maybe the lack of proteam tubing is to do with keeping costs down due to manufacturing in the uk

The weight without seat clamp and including bolts is 2250g.. Not the lightest 853 frame out there but I didn't expect it to be. The back end is quite beefy and doesn't look to be as skinny as say a cotic soul, also the fillet brazing adds to the weight a touch.

The reason I ask is that my Pace is fillet over tig and is a bit of a porker in part down to this.

Are these designed around a 100mm fork? Lack of gussets suggest this but interested none the less

I bet you cannot weight to get on the bike though

They are designed for a 120 mm fork, the bikes were all fitted with fox 120's. Yes I cannot wait but will probably end up having to I have to sell some stuff first

Out of interest what is the weight of the pace?

I didn't weigh it

Built up she's not light

ah well, weight is not the be all very nice frame either way..

Massive fans of these frames, really want one, hoping I will one day.

Any plans set out or just picking up bits as and when?

Very nice

I almost went for one of these myself, but you only turn 40 once so I went for a custom build instead Still using 853 and fillet brazed, so both bikes have a large hint of retro abut them

Looking forward to seeing this built up
