Hi,
Anyone got one and what do u think of it? Thinking of getting one as my all year round road bike.Want something more comfortable than my aluminium road bike and the full mudguard compatibility is a plus!
Thanx
Max

Can't help you with the Kinesis but you should find something similar in the Van Nicholas range.

I have got the alloy version and with the carbon seat stays and seat post it's a very comfortable ride. Can't see that Titanium would be much more compliant otherwise it would be getting too flexy.

Hi,
Thanx for the replays guys.Frame is now on order.Bit of a wait,but I spose that gives me time to save.Gonna put on my 9 speed Dura ace for the time being then maybe some 11 speed Ultegra when it comes out (here's hoping!)

Fat Birds in Hunstanton had one built up in the shop last week - just before they let me test ride a Lynsky Sportive with full Ultegra, having just wandered in off the street - no security or ID required.

But the Kinesis looked very nice

My lesbifriend Emma rides one, quicker than I can keep up with her. Does Tri's, Time Trials, big rides, all sorts on it.
I will probably end up copying it a bit for Planet X.

Ah,that's interesting Brant as was considering the Sportiff and then saw it was out of stock.Would have liked the Lynsky one though!
Thanx Max
