Yeah, very cheesy, but it got you to have a look!
I finally found a hanger (NOS at that) for my Kirk Revolution frame so I thought i'd better get around to building the old girl up! Thanks to whoever posted the Fleabay ad for the hangers in the 'eBay watch' section.
I know there are quite a few Retrobikers that don't rate the Revolution at all and you will undoubtedly consider my build to be massive over-kill but I have really loved the look of the frame ever since I first laid eyes on one at the Karapoti Classic (Wellington, New Zealand) in '91. IMO, it's damn near the best looking bike ever made!
Anyways... here she is...
