I finally got this image thing down, so I thought I would show off my KEX.







Here's my pit crew

Very nice. I'll post mine sooner or later. When I get this picture thing figured out.......!
There are some pictures of it in some of the new Rockford 2005 posts. It has a strut up front.

It is only a 4-1/2" steerer, for a mini.

hey guys, those kastans sure are super nice, i have to post one of mine, i have some pics of me racin one bitd in full uniform, should have kept a padset, anybody know where i can get one
KastanKillector
v8ute, were you on the team?
K Robison
I raced one, too. The cruiser was the last bike I raced. I have a question. How high is the bottom bracket on yours? If I remember, mine was ridiculously high. Well over 13 inches. I also remember having to saw several inches off the seatpost just to make it low enough for even 1990.

K, I have three KEX 24's. One is a Pro-S for sure. I will mount them on forks when I get a chance and figure it out for you. I have two Kastan posts, one is very long the other short. Seems as if two different sizes available then? The short one is uncut.

Kastan is the best of Mid-School for sure.

Notice how the uni-blade strut is on opposite sides on the cruiser and 20 in. Cool.
KastanKillector
I have had quite a few blades and they opposed sides for both the 20 and 24. Really no reason or rhyme. Just a prefference. I wonder if they could be side specific when purchased new?
v8ute
hey kastan killector, yeah i was on the factory team, i am an aussie, it was the Australian factory team, got any padsets
KastanKillector
v8, if you have any stories about Kastan product please share. Like Uniblade performance and so on. I am sorry, I do not have any pads available. I have 4 sets but have 5 KEX models so I am actually 1 set short myself. Did you run the Tec-Matic II botttom bracket on your team bikes?
v8ute
no i didnt have the pleasure of the tech II, you have some real cool kastans, you are the kastan king, mine is all original, paint and everything just as i raced it, i sold a kex frame and uniblade on ebay about a year ago to a dude in florida, it was nice, i have got a couple of aussie factory race suits, i will check with some guys i know from AUS and see if they still have anything left
