The owners manual is gold. It must add to the value of the bike considerably. Is there a serial number on the documents to match with the bike?

That kestrel is so smooth... And the ProFlexes...Nice collection with a good selection of early suspension bikes. I really like your Chicago Schwinn Mtn/BMX bike.
That Kona with the Bomber, I hope you still ride that in the dirt. Most trailworthy of the bunch.

I have had it out only a few times. I ride the Kestrel a lot for mild trails. Will take the A2 Fast Barracuda out equally. I have a Kestrel Rubicon Comp I’m restoring that will probably get most anything heavier or harder. i honestly have to flip a coin sometimes. It has gotten out of hand.
I didn't know Kestrel made mtbs. Neat.

In 1988 Kestrel introduced the world's first carbon fiber mountain bike, the MK-Z
Obviously that's not mine

As soon as I sell The Big Orange Machine, my dirt riders will be pared down to four with a classic build pending for "show off" rides.
Those Kona 7005 series aluminum frames are great. I rode the 2002 Blast I had built up rigid on most of the high country chunk around here with much success. IMO, they are as "duzitall" as a 26" hardtail frame can get.

Much love and respect for Brett Tippie in there as well. Did you see this with him, plus a few other legends on the way?
