Here's my Kinesis GFTi which was for sale on here & elsewhere for a while but offers were too low for me to part with it so it now lives at my Mum's in Surrey so that I don't have to bring a bike with me when I visit her.
It's got 105 10 speed shifters and the XT 9- speed rear mech that shifts with road 10 speed so a nice wide range of gears for the Surrey hills which I used to manage on 42x23 when I first took this up a few decades ago. Very glad I kept it, only frustration with it is the vast amount of space in the calipers for bigger tyres when the frame and forks limit this to 28mm, maybe 30mm at a pinch. Shame Kinesis didn't max out the tyre clearance when they designed as they'd have been ahead of the wide tyres on the road trend with little impact on the handling and weight of the frame.
