Picked this up earlier with the intention to strip. Anyone any information on this bike?
(Please ignore the kitchen. It’s half way through a renovation).

Kynast: a German brand. That's all I know.

Agree with regards to Kynast,
and the suspension fork is a Taiwanese one sold under a lot of brands like Abt, 43 cycle pieces, Wheeler Rhino, etc.

Both not really collector items but may ride OK.

It’s pretty light and the forks still seem to function okay!

just have fun...

I have had this fork also already twice, one was dead, elastomere hard like steel, the other one was performing quite OK.
I would assume that new this fork was not too much different to an Manitou M2-3 or RS Quadra.

As said, it was sold with many different badges


Also as Akela is another brand which came to my mind. It was also sold as Shogun Zero Shock for a while
