Kestrel 500 SCi

[Deleted member 25979]

Maybe you like the old Kestrel bikes as much as I do. Here my newest bike, Kestrel 500 SCi with Shimano 6400 group and Spinergy RevX. My dream bike of the early nineties.

That bugger took away some of the spokes, too :roll: :mrgreen:

Would commute on that.

So what's it like in real life without the seat tube? Is the frame noticeably bouncier than a double triangle? I mean, if you stand over it and bounce your weight on the saddle, can you feel it flex?

No. I hope I find time next week to try it on a longer ride, so far it does not feel flexy.
