eBay and Craigslist finds

I had one of these a couple of years ago and from the pics I would say the forks are very bent.
Also I snapped the chain side chainstay whils stomping up Hedsor Hill near Maidenhead.

The trashed frame ended up in the middle of the village bonfire on the next Guy Fawkes night.
It was awsome when it ignited: Beams of white light radiating from the middle of the fire. The vicar thought ET had arrived.

...d.e p..

I also rode a Kirk several times.
I worked for a Japanese company in bike stuff and fishing tackle,based in Sakai near Osaka.
When I was there for business, I used the Kirk, the only frame that suited me.
One time I visited the HQ again and couldn't find "my" magnesiun Kirk anymore.
I asked around and found out that they needed the Magnesium material for the first prototype(s) XTR rear derailleurs. :-(
