From the website:       The first thing I do is ask you a lot of questions.  Then I will ask even more questions about your current bike and setup.  What you are looking for etc.  I can usually come up with a good idea for your Justice Madison geometry and then tell you how I arrived at that and we can tweak even more from there.      Then we can decide if you want to run continuous housing on the rear end of bike or go with traditional cable stops?       Then we can pick a color for your Justice Madison to be painted.  It can be painted just about any color under the sun.  What you will appreciate as you bomb down your favorite trail is the zealous attention to detail I put into each frame.          I weld the frames straight and do very little if any cold setting.  Lots of "cold sets"...

Hi and welcome to the Kirk Biycles website! This website came about following my fascination with the Kirk mountain bike and its unique design. I used to own a black Kirk Revolution and had very few problems with it (apart from being stopped all the time by curious passers-by). After a few years I decided to upgrade and modify the bike and the results were posted on my personal website, along with some of my other projects. Then, in 2005 I received an email from Frank Kirk himself, asking if I still had the bike and whether I would consider selling it. That took me by surprise, but a meeting was arranged and both the MTB and Racer were sold to a good home. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this site, feedback is always welcome, as is any further Kirk information. I do have a number of Kirk Revolution front mech hangers available, but sadly I've run out of the ones for the rear. Thanks. Simon Haydn. the site is here
