    Dear Photograph

    Came across this website the other day, where you take a digital picture of an old photo, but superimpose them by taking it in the same place (just many years later). Thought it would be amusing to post this and see what other bike related pics and memories appear. Simon...

    Top Trumps for bicycles

    Whatever happened to the planned Retrobike top trumps idea? It seemed to be a popular idea, as there wasn't anything else like it at the time, but now there is: http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk/Bike_Trumps.html

    Some retro videos (courtesy of Frank Kirk) covering interviews with Phil Anderson, Phil Ligget, Steve Poulter and Frank Kirk on the Kirk Precision. There's also the famous bike crush test versus a conventional steel frame that was shown on Tomorrow's World. Video 1 - Kirk Precision...

    Custom, funny or novelty bikes

    Hello, can anyone recommend a bike builder who can create custom, funny or novelty bikes - preferably in Cambridgeshire. We're after some bikes that have offset hubs, steer in the opposite direction, are articulated etc for using as demo bikes at shows. Thanks, Simon.

    Kirk Revolution DX

    I've yet to find a camera that can show how stunning these bikes are, they all struggle with this shade of pink - it's much darker and stronger in the flesh. The full specs are below and the rest of the images are on my website: Frame: Magnesium Alloy (6.25lbs or 2.85kgs) Fork...

    Kirk Precision (unique 80s spray job)

    Hi, just picked up this (and another white one) over the weekend. Even though it's bright pink, the photos don't do it justice - probably because my digital is struggling with the brightness of the frame. It was sprayed fluorescent pink for a trade show in Milan, so it's pretty unique. More...

    New project required...

    Hi, After 6 weeks I've finally finished my Kirk project and I'm really pleased with the results. After the first ride I noticed that the decals I printed up aren't going to last, so I need to toughen them up. I probably didn't let them dry long enough before taking it out for a spin, but...

    Kirk Rebuild

    Hi, I've added a few sneak peak pics of my Kirk rebuild, with Mavic Crossride and Amp Research forks. Once the new stickers go on, it's going to look wicked! Plus there are now some pics of the Kirk factory and the machinery they used to cast the bikes. There's an interesting frame in the...

    Old magazines

    Hi, Thought it was about time I registered on this site, after having spoken to a few of you via my Kirk website. I've just uploaded some original Kirk Precision brochures, as well as a nice pic of a Kirk Precision MTB. Anyway, I'm still missing all the reviews that the Kirk bikes received...
