This is the sixth Kappa I've owned, but since this frame was a gift, it absolutely will not be sold or traded. I plan on keeping this one indefinately. I'm still deciding on colors, parts, etc. but I thought a fresh coat of white powder was a great start.

Kappa K24Z frame
Supercross forks
Knight "CW" cruiser bars

Thanks again, Kit!

That should be pretty sick Jeff! Especially with those bars. Some anno blue and chrome on that build would be slick!

Very cool Jeff. That is going to look awesome!

Jeff...you don't know how much I regret not buying your chrome one when you offered it.

I really wish I had bought it.

I have no doubt that you will do this one up just right.

That's alright Tom, you don't know how much I regret selling the chrome one!

Can't wait to see it built Jeff!

There should be one of those frames with some Supercross Bottema forks on my porch when I get home. I'm thinking black or candy blue powdercoat with lots of chrome and a little bit of gold.

I assume the Knight C-Dub bars are history? I would really like to score a set.

Knight CW bars are history. I got lucky and landed the last pair Knight had. The bars had a discoloration where the stem mounts, so I got them at a discount price too.

I had planned on the SX Bottema forks for this frame but I didn't like the chrome forks with the white frame. I'm picky about colors and have always preferred the fork be the same color as the frame. Sooner or later I'll find a frame to go with the SX forks.

I just love the Kappa in white. Solid bikes. Have fun putting it together!

PS: Anyone with a K-24 and wanting to trade for my Starsky?

Mine is sitting in my bedroom. I am thinking gunmetal grey now.

How many of the Z frames were made?

How much?

a KZ26 and KZ16 sit on my bedroom floor as I type.

Will always be a classic retro frame. By the way, C-Dub bars are back in stock according to the Knight site.

+1 !

Beautiful!
The only bike left on my retro wish list is a KZ24.

My work in progress, straight from the powder coaters.
