My Kestrel CSX

Here's a pic of my Kestrel CSX. Purchased her while working at The Bike Shop in Hawaii while on shore duty. I think the frame is a 95.

I just pulled her out of storage, can't wait to swap out the tires and hit the local trails.

Loving it! It has a real stateside look about it, especially with the lawill forks!

"Shore duty"... USN by any chance?

Very nice,

thats a fast looking machine ya got there

Yes I'm in the Navy, even got to visit merry old England because of it back in the early 90's.

Thanks for the compliments.

ride!

Picture of the other side. Put some off road tyres on her yesterday and took her for a spin down some fire roads. It was a blast!

Now that's retro cool.

nice blue ringle bits, and nice to see a bit of UK eningeering with the seatpost
looks fast and light

suppose staying in Hawaii makes up for being posted to the UK! it's where my Kona and I should be

Sweet sweet ride TracyP

Did you ever get over to the store in Haleiwa (can't remember the name), I was there in '98 and they had the most impressive collection of boutique frames and parts I've ever seen. It was a real Aladdin's cave...(or should that be garage?)

I checked it out again in '03 but sadly all the old stuff had disappeared, still a great store though.
