The January 2010 issue of The Dropout features KirkLee along with other Texas builders as they cover the Texas Custom Bicycle Show. It’s great to see another Austin magazine focusing on the bicycle scene in Texas. The Dropout can be found online and at Austin bikes shops.

Coming soon to a bike shop near you are some new KirkLee posters. Designed to show the uniqueness a KirkLee custom bicycle is when we build one for you. Our goal is to build the bike around you and we think these posters reflect that.

Another Interbike has come and gone for the year. Interbike always provides for a very busy week as we meet with potential customers and check out the latest in the bike industry. We saw some things we can’t wait to integrate into our custom carbon frames. Stepped forks, BB30 and integrated seatposts come to mind.
Once again our custom frames were used in the Rotor Bike Components to show off all of their great parts. That 3D crank is looking really nice. Can’t wait to see it hit the US market. The guys at Rotor are always a blast to hang out with and we’re gracious to work with them.
Congrats to Vegas local Jefon Jefferson for winning the USA Crits Finals Cat 2/3 race on a KirkLee / Rotor bike while also racing the Industry and Master’s 35+ as well.
Thanks again to everyone that stopped by and talked with us. It really helps reinvigorate us knowing that folks are excited about what we’re doing. See you next year!

KirkLee was recently featured in the October issue of Road Bike Action magazine. The online version is now available for reading.
The one word that defines a KirkLee frame is custom. The Austin workshop is full of carbon tubes that have all been designed by and made for KirkLee. Brad will pick from a selection of tubes of different shapes and sizes for each frame made. “We designed our own laminate schedule for each tube,” Brad says proudly. “And from there, everything is imaginable and up in the air in regards to what we can build.” Each frame is made off a template using the “tube to tube” process. No molds are used.
