Oh man…I have lusted after Kestrels since the 4000 was released. If I thought for a second I was worthy of flying the colours I’d be all over this like dirt on a shirt.
I ride a Kestrel Talon for the past three seasons and love it. Do you sponsor 58 yr olds? If so I’ll even change my handle from “cerveloguy” to “kestrelguy”.
…I’m still waiting for the 76-78 Kestrel 4000 in 51 with 700 wheels. The Kestrel 4000 was 20 years ahead of its time and was my first carbon bike back in 1991. The moment I saw Mark Allen riding it in Nice, I needed to be on one!
I believe there is an error on the geometry chart on your website. the 52 Airfoil pro says 700 wheels, 8.5 head tube, but 40 mm BB drop. 8.5 cm head tube is indicative of a 700 bike in that size, however, the 40 mm BB drop is something that goes with a 650 bike. Should the BB drop be ~ 70mm if this is indeed a 700 bike? Something does not line up…by the way, if you can’t bring back the 4000, give us the Airfoil Pro in Ferrari Candy Apple Red like the first edition of the 200…
Everyone is worthy. Don’t short change yourself. Everyone has a story to tell and you would be surprised what makes me think someone is worth sponsoring.
