Kinesis Aithein Disc_blue_frameset.jpgWin a Kinesis Aithein Disc frameset worth £750
Cycling UK is giving you the chance to win a brand new Kinesis Aithein Disc frameset worth £750. All you have to do is head to their website and submit your details into the virtual hat.
The Kinesis Aithein Disc is a brand new frame and builds on the solid underpinnings of the original aluminium road bike with an upgrade to disc brakes. The original was one of the lightest aluminium road frames on the market and at 1,300g for the disc version, it’s still a highly competitive weight.
- First Ride: Kinesis Aithein Disc
Other key details include an asymmetric seat tube, tapered head tube, threaded BSA 68mm bottom bracket and internal cable routing. An update in the move to disc brakes is increased tyre clearance, it’ll now take 28mm tyres. There’s an updated carbon fork with a regular quick release axle, and there’s also a quick release axle at the rear dropouts. Kinesis is offering the new frame in five sizes (47-59cm) and two colours anodised black and metallic blue.
Enter here. The competition closes on 28th February 2017.
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

Equally, you could say don't fixate on the frame material - both ti and carbon can be made comfortable or stiff.

Why would you run two stories together like this. One a celebration, the other an unfortunate bike theft. This segue serves neither story well.

Or lezyne tubeless pro plugs. I've got a set, but had no chance to try them out. I want to use those mushrooms.

That's a bit forward! But yes; pop up any time you like. Except when the buses have been at the bridges.

You've got to be in it to win it, but I do like my bikes with those spinny things on them.
The joy of building your own bespoke bike from the frame up is just so much greater than owning a bog standard bike. Even better if you build your own wheels.
