1999 KINESIS

Bought that non-branded frameset in 1999 at Generator Radsport Leipzig to build a fast custom road racer beside my mountainbikes. It saw a lot of different parts, I gave it away, I got it back, it was never stolen, so I'll keep it on my own and keep customizing it.

Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Stronglight 48T 170 mm

Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:
Shimano NEXUS SM Gear 22T / FUXON chain tensioner with TACX wheel / B'TWIN 3/32"

Derailleurs/Shifters:
far, far away...

Brakes:
Shimano RSX w/ Contec BL-100 Levers, NOKON Konkavex cables

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Rigida ZAC 2000 black / just a black one / Vittoria Randonneur Cross 700x28c

Rear Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Rigida ZAC 2000 polished / Sturmey Archer S2C Kickshift / Vittoria Randonneur Cross 700x28c

Accessories:
KlickFix bar interface and after 20 years of silence: a Knog Oi bell!

Current Stage Info:

Had to replace the nearly 30 years old bottom bracket last year, so I decided to replace the crankset too. The start of reducing gears...
2-speed now. Chain tensioner instead of rear derailleur. No more shifters. New wheels. Improved finish.
