Price Paid:  $3000.00 at Direct from Kish Fab

Model Year:
2007

Favorite Ride:
Kish Ti SL

Bike Setup:
Full Force group wi wheels by Alchemy

Summary:
What can I say, Great customer service by Jim. With Kish Fabrication you talk directly with the builder. I had the oportunity to have Jim fit me himself. I built the bike using Jim's recommended stem length and seat post set back. The fit was spot on. Great overall quality from the welds to the powdercoat by Spectrum. I checked the frame alignment on a surface plate using aerospace inspection equipment and it was right on.

Strengths:
I had been riding a steel frame (reynolds 853). The ride of the ti. SL is even better than my steel frame.

The total ready to ride weight is 15.2 lbs

This is a bike that calls for you to go riding.

Every ride go on I get positive reaction from someone about how nice the frame is from someone.

Weaknesses:
The only problem that I have found is the bike is to nice to leave in the garage. But my wife will not let me store it in the house. My way around this was to buy a new house and finish the garage so that it is now up to the standard of the bike!

Bike Setup:

Summary:
After buying a MTB and cyclocross from Jim, I have decided to buy an SL Road frame for road training from him as well. I was not disappointed when I finally held it in hands. Perfectly made frame, just great for eyes and legs. Frame is light and yet as stiff as I can think of doable and reasonable with Titanium. But not as rock-hard as Carbon, it is perfectly done for endless hours in the saddle. The surface of the frame is wondefully made, a frame for life. Together with the professionel attitude of Jim for the job, it was just a pleasure from ordering up to finally riding. Absolutely recommended.

Strengths:
Light and stiff, timeless bike, perfectly balanced.

Weaknesses:
None found, none expected
