My 1x10 Build is done.

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.

I'm running the older version of the TriRig Omega X brakes. I have the newer version on the Zipp2001. Best center pull brakes I've ever used.

Ahhh. The newest version of rollercam brakes - just not as pretty as Campa deltas. Hope they are not as hard to install/adjust as the 30+ yo Weinmann deltas I gave up on (but could not part with).


edit: BTW, I really, really like your Kestrel.
