Nice! I really want to get a custom made bike from them, have heard nothing but good things about them! Havent used them myself (except buying parts) but again, nothing but good things!

Looks too nice to use for commuting.

If I had a bike like that, I'd not be running anywhere.

Seriously thinking of doing some big ride challenge on this little beauty...it handles like a dream and I will give it a good review in a few weeks.....
When I was in collecting my bike Simon from Webbs points out to me a gentleman who had just left the store....see that bloke he said...won 3 mountain stages years ago in Tour of Switzeland...the good and famous it would appear come to Webbs of Warmley

I have a TK2 in "cherry". Superb frame, nice and stiff. They make really good forks too. Its the kind of frame that needs some really nice mid-high end wheels imo, though I currently have Aksiums on mine. I will switch over to Hope hubbed wheels when the time is right.

I really love the Kinesis, I've got the Gran Fondo, I think the only thing that let it down was the quasar wheels but they lasted 12,000miles before the rear failed, so they weren't that bad but I'm enjoying it even more since I put Planet X Model B's on it.
Hi all
Sorry to drag up an old post.
I have just completed my first 2 days commuting from Bristol to Bath on my TK2. I bought a cheap rack (Tortec Velocity) and had difficulty fitting the arms to the seat stay mounts as the brake cable was slightly in the way. I managed it in the end but it isn't quite right and is a bit irritating!
Does anyone know what rack is fitted to the OP's bike? The bracket used looks much better as it goes up and avoids the brake before the horizontal section connecting to the rack.
I'm loving the commute so far - hopefully I'll be able to keep it up.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

With mine the bike mechancic took the arms to the seat stay and one was filed down slightly to allow a bit of space for the cable. Other racks sometimes use rods to the seat stays. I have a tortec touring rack that has these rods and they angled to allow enough space for most brakes to fit/operate fine

Looks like the quick release is pointing down, can't have that. QR's must be just ahead of fork/stay.
