Kestrel KM40 airfoil build complete !
I had been on a search for this bike for a couple of years, but didn't like what I saw on internet selling sites. Then this summer I find this machine at a bike swap meet. The longest wait was the painter who is always booked out 10-16 weeks. So, while that was booked, I ordered parts which as we know right now are hard to get. By the time the bike came out from the painter I had my parts. I had spinergy rev-x wheels before and wasn't interested in keeping the ones that came with the bike. I sold them and used that money to by the spinergy wheels that are now on the bike. I've done a couple shake down rides and look forward to spinning out some long rides in the future.

Any 'after' still pics? That paint job is wild.
Kestrel also made the 500sci which has a similar frame but with road seat tube angle, more suitable for road/drop bar.

Beautiful. I loved those back in the 90's. The chameleon paint is very age appropriate also. It looks amazing.
