I’m hoping some of the retailers on the forum can help me out.
I am interested in Kestrel’s new 700c bike and was wondering if anyone knew when it might be available. I have heard that a 56 might be ready in Jan. but that other sizes will not ship till May.
Anyone know anything about the bike? I haven’t received any response from a question posted to the Kestrel website.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Oh, what’s that mist floating in the air… That hazy spectre that is so common this time of year? It must be, it must be…
Vaporware!!!
Here’s how you do it. Get measured to see if it fits, buy it , and forget about it. One day the phone will ring and it will be your bike shop saying, “Remember that bike you bought four months ago, its in!” If you have your head cryogenically frozen in the mean time it will feel like the bike came in right away!
I knew you would chime in with that “vaporware” Tom…but I am beginning to think you are right! The interbike pics go out and then you wait, and wait… I’m sure there are good reasons behind the “wait”, but it does make it difficult to start sorting through what might or might not work for you if you can’t get to see/try it until the season is here.
Oh well, I have made it through Kona twice on my trusty, many times retrofitted, 12 year-old Klein frame. Isn’t exactly a tri bike, but does fit like a well-worn glove. I guess it has another season in it!
How does one know if he fits on one of the bikes? Does getting fitted on the bike assume that the bike shop has fitting samples?
thanks,
