KirkLee Stock
These two KirkLee’s are built with our stock geometry. Custom is our norm, but some people do just fine with standard measurements.
KirkLee Art
This KirkLee was designed from the inspiration of a canvas oil painting. Meticulous detail was put into the clean shaping of the joints down to the brush strokes of the paint. Anything is possible at KirkLee.
KirkLee Flower
This KirkLee was designed around the needs for a more compliant bike than full on racing machine. It’ll still go fast though. Paint was inspired by hibiscus flowers with bare joints showing off the carbon layups. A mix of tapered and lugged joints was used for a unique look.
