Kirk Precision

[Barry Warren]

Hi All

I have a complete Kirk Precision that dates back to the early 90's that hasn't been ridden for nearly 20 years. The bike is made up with a mix for Ultegra and Dura Ace from the early 90's, but I just have no idea what it is worth

I know its a small market but does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks

have u checked ebay?

 

[curzons246]

none on ebay!

Try this guy - he might be interested. But other than that they are bikes with a bad reputation, especially for frame breakages so you won't get much other than from a collector. Looks like he paid £60 for his last frame.

Kirk? didn't they tie in with Dawes in the early 90's to make a space age die cast magnesium alloy framed MTB? It can't have been that good as they died a death.

As Adrian says, could be fun to watch one burn??????

 

[Barry Warren]

Thanks Guys

As you say none on Ebay etc

For it to burn you would need to grind it up so you get air circulation etc, also because its a Mag/alloy mix I doubt it would burn very well anyway, certainly nothing like mag ribbon in the science lab

The kit will be worth more than the bike. DA and Ultegra fetch good prices.

Sorry, but I keep on seeing this thread title and picturing a West of Scotland Minister with compulsive behaviour

I was thinking more along the lines of the ... exact and ... precise ... way that captain ... Kirk ... would speak.

you'll get a deal of money for the frame and other retro bits if you hawk it round Broadway Market, Pitfield Street or LMNH

Hi there Have you sold it yet?
I know that there is 1 guy who has been known to take them. The last one he was sent for the price of the postage. Simon Haydn.
I am kinda interested if you can send me a couple of pictures as I rode one in the late 80's and out of curiosity would like to ride one again.
Have to no doubt explain again to the lady of the house that the correct number of bikes = N+1

They are a bit flexy.

As long as they are kept dry though people still ride them, if you live anywhere near the sea though I wouldn't trust it.

I had a set of magnesium sus - fork sliders begin reverting back to powder after a ferry crossing to Norway.

For that kind of price, I'd take it; missus would kill me though

I had one years ago and found they were quite tough. Used mine in Criteriums. Was always concerned that if I crashed, I would go up in a firey flash. Gave it to a friend who still rides it.

If you still have it, I would be interested for £75 for complete bike. I owned a kirk in the late 80's frame cracked though
