Kestrel pioneered all-carbon monocoque frames in 1986. This is my mint condition early 90s road bike. It was originally equiped with the Dura Ace 7400 group set that is still installed. I only updated the botom bracket and crank set to the Dura Ace 7701 series. The 3TTT stem was replaced by a Dura Ace ax and I treated it to a lighter saddle. It is not the lightest bike around, but super stiff, still very comfortable and I love the merge of the aggressive yet classical geometry and the modern technology. Now updated completely to 7410.
