I've had this Clark Kent Ti - 500 road frame for a few years now, after buying it off a club mate, believing it was a Serotta.
It's actually an Ivo Vinklarek made Clark Kent from, it's believed, around 1994-6. It's very lovely and I'm very attached to it. I had 'wanted' to sell it as my Rourke is replacing it as my 'A' bike. But I couldn't. So after selling all the bits I would need to build it back up, I'm starting again!
In its previous guises it was built up with Record Ti and carbon bits, but now I've decided to drop some 90's/early 2000/modern Bontrager bits on, for no other reason than it's an American frame and forks and Keith is a bit of a dude, has a lone association with the shop and still pops into BC when he's in London.
As the bikes came with DA originally I'm going to break my Campag habit and have found some 9001 shifters and 9000 mechs for cheaps, I feel like I have sold my soul.
The frame is identical to this one and here is the bike in some of its previous guises in my ownership and in my favourite set up, below.
