Wanted - Kirk Precision - anything considered

[Specialeyes]

So, I seem to have walked arse-first into having a collection of bikes built locally in Essex... which brings me to the (technological marvel/brittle-accident-waiting-to-happen*) that was the Kirk Precision.

Anything considered, preferably the road frame, not the MTB, in any state of build, so long as it's sound.

Bit of a long shot, I realise, but if you don't ask...

Thanks in advance!

I know it is an MTB but this is very tidy and as i was 19 in 92 and just getting very active on tbe MTB scene it ticks all the boxes for me

But but but whyyyyy?

To boldly go where no man has gone before?

They went on it and ended up with 4kilo of sharp cast magnesium embedded in their colon.

There’s one of each hanging up in the bike shop in Bridport. Road frame a bit scruffy but looks sound. Worth a phone call.

Update!

My saved eBay Search popped up this morning with a Precision in nice nick, with Shimano 600 running gear and a relatively reasonable Buy It Now price.
My heart sank a little when I saw it was cash on collection only, but then jumped back up again when I saw it was only 3 miles from home! Hopefully going to collect it tonight or tomorrow - will update with pics

So I collected the Precision last night and it's as wonderfully mad as I'd hoped!

Looking forward to some light fettling to make it feel mine, though truth be told it just needs some bar tape. The pics are taken at work, around half a mile from where the bike was made.

Beautifully bonkers, and white, perfect for a ride out to a country pub on a sunny afternoon

Reminiscent of the Montague Paratrooper.

Another odd device, a full-size folding bike.

Got to admit it does look well with those bars.

Did it come with a set of flameproof overalls?

I visited recently, and he has at least two there. He says that the first few Kirks had magnesium forks as well, but not for long.
