Road

Fast, responsive, sharp. A connectivity to the road that asks for you to keep ticking over the pedals. To feel the acceleration over and over.  Now imagine with your eyes closed you are being lowered onto the perfect fitting road bike. When you combine those two ideas you have what it is like to own a KirkLee road bike.

At KirkLee we build for the individual that wants something special.  We have never built the same bike twice. Having much of our molding in house gives us the ability to be very detailed on achieving a custom fit and ride quality.

Some of the things that set KirkLee’s apart are:

  • Tapered top and down tubes
  • Carbon fiber cable stops
  • Marbelizing lay up process
  • Any geometry possible
  • 100% painted finishes
  • The ability to customize any part of the bike for the rider

We realize what we build often is closer to art than machine, but as we tell each of our owners, “The ride is every bit as good as the look.”

KirkLee Surfliner

The latest generation KirkLee is the result of using our in-house manufacturing to offer an independent-stayed road bike that further shows off the KirkLee craftsmanship. We designed the seat stays with hour glass curves that round, ovalize and gain height depending on the location and angle. The chain stays are sculpted inside to clear extra wide [...]

KirkLee Dragonfly

This bike started with a fitting at Shama Cycles. The customer left it up to us to design and build the frame. The cosmetic rules were simple: incorporate preexisting dragonfly artwork into the design and make the bike purple and white. Nordy Design did an amazing job with the paint. Of course the bike still [...]

KirkLee Cheval Noir

The Cheval Noir is a nickname from a 2003 two-week Stephen Roche Tour de France bike ride. As the stages wore on our customer earned the nickname “The Black Horse.” When it came time to paint the bike, the customer wanted a tribute to those days. The bike is clear coat carbon with pin striped logos [...]
