High-end bike boutique KGS Bikes adds KirkLee custom frames to its lineup


San Antonio, TX (Webwire) -- JUNE 25, 2009 - KGS Bikes of San Antonio, Texas, a premiere ultra high-end bicycle boutique, has added KirkLee custom bicycle frames
to its lineup.
“KirkLee is one of the up and coming leaders in true custom
carbon-fiber frames. They have great designs, extremely high
quality and build a lightweight frame that rounds out our offerings
to clients" KGS President Kevin Saunders said.

Brad Cason, president of Austin-based KirkLee, called KGS a "true
bicycle boutique, that combines world-class expertise, a
one-of-a-kind fitting system and the comfortable buying experience
that Kevin Saunders has created. He said the agreement with KGS
will take his company to the “next level of manufacturing.”

Cason represents “the best of what I look for in a frame builder,”
Saunders said. “The client has to ride this bike for years and as
such, I only work with people who have the passion and expertise to
perform at a world class level and do it consistently.”
Saunders cited KirkLee’s light, stiff frames that weigh as little as
850 grams, the complete customization KGS needs for its clients, as
well as the company’s location in Austin.
A former bicycle racer, Saunders studied pre-med in college and uses
his knowledge of human anatomy when he makes his custom bikes.
A proprietary fitting system determines the balance points for each
rider and allows the bicycle to be totally engineered around the
owner.
"We have the same level of technology that was formerly available
only to people like Lance Armstrong. Our clients feel they get great
value in obtaining a true lifestyle investment rather than a
commodity bike like everyone else" Saunders said.
Prices for KGS custom bikes start at about $8,000 and range to more
than $30,000.
KGS is showing their custom bicycles in the Buffalo Springs Lake
Triathlon in Lubbock, Friday through Sunday, and a KirkLee model
will be in the KGS booth.
"I wanted to have an example of KirkLee’s workmanship and design in
the expo booth as they are in the design phase of a world class
triathlon frame. I feel it will be aerodynamic, light, efficient and
above all comfortable,” Saunders said.
