I'm seriously interested in Mikkels Ti Kish...but would have to sell this.

I'm not looking at splitting...I'm selling the complete bike less the (knackered but I like them) pedals. seat and tyres.

Frame
2008 Kish Limited Edition Singlespeed 650B frame....here is the blurb
from Kish
In honor of Kish Fabrication’s 15 year anniversary displaying a dedicated single speed mountain bike at Interbike (a year before the big guys I might add) we’re producing a small run (15!) of steel single speeds with stainless Paragon slider dropouts.

They’ll make their glorious debut at the Single Speed World Championships in Napa, CA on August 23-34. One of them will be given away at the race, and another will be kept in the vault (garage) here. So now there’s only 13 available.

Each one will be numbered and signed, and will feature a small “SSWC O8″ logo on the top tube. The KISH logos will be painted in, not decals. They’ll all have the same paint scheme (pictures soon), are available in small, medium and large sizes (note: these sizes will be different than the suggested MTB sizes on the main site), and in 26″, 650B and 29″ versions.

The best part is that an identical frame, if bought off the normal price list with the fancy paint and dropout upgrade, would be $1800, but these are only $1500 (notice a theme?).

The first one is being completed right now, and there will pictures soon.

Better act fast on this one, once the remaining 13 orders are in that’s it. It’s not often that prices go DOWN on anything these days…

Frame is for 650B wheels but I have been running with 26ers...and no problems...the BB is a little lower but I have had no issues.

This steel bike measures 16.5″ c-c on the seat tube, effective top tube is 23.7″. It’s got plenty of standover (31″) so if the top tube length works for it’ll probably fit unless you’re grossly misproportioned.

Yours hopefully

Ta.

I havn't got the full geo on this frame...having a look at the Kish web-site but it hasn't helped.
The standover mentioned is from the Kish site. I'm 5'10" with little stumpy legs and fairly long body. I'm running 90mm stem.
Like all frames..it took a few miles to get used to...the front was way higher than I was used too. Now it feels perfect.
