Kappa K-20. Build so far

Well here is a work in progress. Thanks to Graeme and folkestone Flyer 1 and Wolfybmx for their help so far.




Still a little bit of work to go. But Alans should come through for me this week and it'll be finished and dialled in ready for Bournemouth.

There's a lot more bling to fling on this one.
The sproket and the cranks went together fine without any work needed.
I have to make a special mention to Tibbs Cycles in Canterbury for the excellent wheel building job they did. They spinn so well it's unbeleivable.

I am racing a Kappa K20 at the moment,and believe me it's hard to admit this........

It's the best bike i've ever owned.

P.S  Did you know the geometry is the same as a HUTCH but with a 21 inch top tube!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, here's another update with how it looks at the moment. The seat and the post are from My Robinson, so it will still look a little different from this, I may also change the bars over, I've also got a Profile stem on the way so the GT cruiser stem can go back on that.

The bars are TNT Retro bars, really nice, although I may have to cut them down slightly as they're mega wide.
The number plate was thrown in for free by the bloke that owns TNT products. Super nice guy and his hubs are the sweetest I've ever run, Liked them so much I bought another set.
