My Kestrel KM40 airfoil build is done.

[Zipp2001]

I bought a Kestrel KM40 airfoil at a local swap meet last summer. It was set-up as a tri bike, but I wanted to turn it into a 1x10. My biggest wait was the painter who was months out and I didn't have it back to build until late last year. Seeing it wasn't going to be a winter bike I took my time as I did have to have to design a part and have a local machine shop make it before it 100% complete. So, it's been done for a bit and now I just needed the rain to go away. I had my window today after work, so it was off to check out the how the bike path build was going and do a little shakedown ride. Everything when great and I'm looking forward to logging sone longer rides with her in 2022.

Wow!
Could I ask what a paint job like that costs in the US?

The paint job cost was just a tad lower than what this bike sold for when it originally came out in 1999.
