Kish TI Road
Jim Kish built this frame in 2005, I own it since August '06.
It had been my first road bike after a long period of riding mountain bikes only. The groupset is a Campagnolo Record 10s which I got new back then. As often on my bikes they get optimized over time - this one too. Current set up is 7.1 kg including pedals, bottle cage + Garmin mount. Weight and performance is still up to date and feels great.
Yesterday I rode my Open Min.d. with SRAM electronic shifting, disc brakes + carbon fibre rims and yes, it's different. But mainly because of 32mm tires instead of the 25mm Veloflex on the Kish. Shifting, braking, acceleration and other performance criteria don't differ much. What does this tell us?
By the way: the Open weighs 7.27 kg, heavier than the old Kish - even though it is one the lighest bikes on the current market...
