Totally new taper head tube. Machined from billet & engraved with ‘ Kinesis UK’ icon. Now with clearance for 28c [depending on brand] when using full size ‘guards [refer to FAQ's 16]. Geometry is set for long-reach [47-57mm] calipers, this gives far more clearance for larger tyres. New ‘ Tracer 1.5′ Taper 1.5, 450g, monocoque carbon fork with eyelets & clearance for full-size ‘guards & long-drop calipers. Tough 7mm dropouts are double-eyeletted to easily accomodate rack & mudguard stays & our own brake bridge gives maximum tyre clearance. Top tube is re-profiled with horizontal ovalisation, giving greater lateral stiffness when out of the saddle, complimenting the new fork & headtube. Down tube is Bi-ovalised where it meets the BB & Headtube. Increased BB drop for stability at speed, precision cornering & better fit. Welds at highly stressed area’s like the head tube & BB are ‘double pass’, ensuring proper penetration & a decent fillet on the second pass. Seat stays are curved with a 2m radius, providing silky smooth comfort over long distances. Chain stays are deep section & set wide at the BB for stability, we use ‘ Bullet’ ends to finish them off perfectly. All eyelets are welded, not riveted, so they will never come loose. There is a ‘chain keeper’ on the RHS seat stay to neatly hold the chain when the wheel is out. All stops, including down tube adjusters are slotted, making cable servicing much easier, adjusters are high qual. anodised alloy. Hand brushed finish with heat cured decals.
