i have a steel KHS aero, a '96 i believe.

i got it quite cheap for £100. it s got a rigida dp18 wheelset and a shimano 8spd rx100 sti groupset.

nice feeling bike but it's super heavy. feels heavier than my old lugged ten speed even. i use it to commute on at the moment but i usually do some of the summer road races here in NZ which range from 100 to 160km.

is it worth upgrading some of the bits, like finding some threadless 1" carbon forks or a set of old 8spd Hed clinchers with the aim to make it lighter/ stiffer?

it also feels like there's loads of flex at the stem/ bars.

don't care if it looks fugly/ period correct or any of that shit.

my knowledge of up-to-date roady stuff is dire so any advice greatly appreciated.

cheers!

I thought it was funny to ask if a geared bike had drillings for brakes, which is admittedly not 'very' funny but just amused me a bit.

i have to admit, i had an inward dont-scare-the-customers-lol.

paintwork is original ganster.

i m coming back to the UK for a few weeks in mid august.

i ll take some detail pics when i get back from Ponyo

measurements: top tube 60cm c-c. seat tube 59cm c-c

just to give you an idea of low profile frame sizing, i usually ride a 53-55cm traditional geometry frame and my pursuit frame (which fits me perfectly) measures up as 57cm sq.
so this would fit someone who rides a 57cm + regular frame I reckon.

this is a geared TT bike so drilled front and rear.

the bike is currently in auckland, NZ.

i wont sell for sub 300, but thanks for the offer, spooky.

if anyone is seriously interested, i can post detail picks of the frame.

good bloody point.

will measure tmrw. i m 5 10 and it s a stretch. would suit 6' plus

I m coming back to the uk in a month and wondered if anyone would be interested in this.
Frame and forks as per title. Columbus TSX tubing. paintwork 75% dandy.

Comes with Edco cranks & rings, BB and head set + 650 front tub with 28h Edco hub.
Could also bring the campy derailleurs/ shifters if wanted.

although it s my favourite bike in the world, it s a little too big and not getting used.

only bit s above are for sale. not the shamal, seat etc
**SOLD**

sorry about the wait for more photos. here they are, the good and the bad. the worst are a series of scratches on the top of the top tube. no dents, no rust.

i'd be well chuffed with cider

My mum used to carry me around in a child seat too. Apparently, I used to fall asleep a lot, and, my being a pretty big baby, the first she would know about it was when the bike would veer sideways as I lolled to one side.

broke my little leg ouside hampton court palace when i was five after it got caught in the spokes of my mums bike whilst sitting in an 80s death trap child's seat. 2 months in a wheel chair FTW!

a1astair's fact of the day:

"Crabsticks" do not actually contain any crab and from 1993 manufacturers have been legally obliged to label them "Crab flavoured sticks".

Most cornflakes come from the USA

not a stickler for keeping kerin bikes strictly japanese, but it s a weird mix of campy and japanese bits

if you drop into auckland i can sort you and your GF bikes for a couple of days if you like. but its coooooold here. just flop me a PM

Dunno about their durability but:
http://www.veloflex.it/products_tyres_catalog.htm

there are actually a pair of veloflex tires in two boxes between the arse and the X1/9 in my photo. they re beautiful things but so thin, so they just stay in their pretty card boxes.

cheers! yeah someone got all italiano with the paint.

are there actually any long wearing gumwall tires out there?

new build to take away with me in september. visiting home (london) from nz so will pop along to south/ west drinks and finally meet some forumungers after two years on the forum (under different alias'). yarp
