Bill,
After some lengthy searching around the interwebs trying to find info on a bicycle I recently acquired, your name has popped up more than a few times along with Rigi Bicycles in Yamba. Other than that I cannot find anything else about this bike. So to make a long story longer, is this one of yours?

Branding name was mine but frame looks to be a Kinesis model

Kinesis, hhmmm, this requires more investigation.

Thanks for the response, greatly appreciated.

What do you want to know. It is probably about 20 years old, they had Easton mainframe tubes with in house stays have seen some with plenty of klms on them crack at the foot of the weld on the down or seat tube. Heat treatment on Asian frames is sometimes a bit suspect.

I'd just like to know what it is. I've only rediscovered a love of bikes and riding about a year ago. In that time I've obtained various types of bikes that I've fixed up to ride, 20" & 24" bmx, cruisers, dirt jumpers. Basically if it's a bike and I can ride it I will. 9 times out of 10 I am able to figure out what I've got wether it's been badly repainted, rusted, no/wrong decals etc. I guess it just bugs me (OCD) that I can't figure this one out. Other than a "9" stamped on the inside of each of the rear dropouts, a "Kxxx" number on the steerer tube and a hard to read serial "106xxx" or "I06xxx", there are no other identifying marks.
Should probably just get it running and go for a ride. ��
