Nothing that good,

I'm just refurbing my old Kirk MTB, sticking some 700c's on it and a lick of powder coat.

Looking good. I did see it when I was reading through the thread. I love mountain bike based street weapons. My last build came in at 7.14kg

lol I doubt mine will be that light,

despite being Magnesium the Kirk frame is pretty substantial, the frame alone is 3kg.

when I bent the valve on the 7 i had to ride to work for 6 weeks till i fixed it, I kind of got into it and want to get sub 15 min for the ride home (4.5 miles) hence the new rims etc...

also I saw this bike which really gave me the urge to get it painted and shiny again...

Thats an impressive bike! I love racing myself on the spin home. It was the best part of my day when I was working in the garage. I'm a fat lump now though, haven't been out in months.

I'm very certain that these Kirk Magnesium bikes were cast at Norsk Hydro Norway. Just like the 90ies Minilites.

Good to see it back up and running. I assume the piston survived the impact with the valve?

Looking through the photobucket album at some of the pics, would this engine contain a billet crank by any chance?
