Own a Piece of Speed Heritage: Pre-Owned Kestrel RT-800 Carbon Road Frame (55cm)
Experience the thrill of a legendary lightweight frame. This pre-owned 2009 Kestrel RT-800, size 55cm, offers serious cyclists a chance to own proven carbon performance without the premium price tag. Crafted from Enhanced Modulus Hybrid carbon fiber, it delivers the responsive, stiff ride quality Kestrel is renowned for, perfect for spirited club rides, weekend centuries, or building your dream budget race bike.
Complete & Ready to Build: Unlike bare frames, this package includes key proprietary components:
* The original Kestrel Fluid Design carbon aero seatpost.
* A sleek Ghepardo integrated carbon handlebar and stem combo (110mm stem / 42cm bar).
* FSA integrated headset.
Why This Stands Out:
| Feature | This Kestrel RT-800 Package | Typical Used Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Components | Includes matching OEM carbon seatpost & bar/stem | Often sold frame-only |
| Weight | Lightweight carbon construction (2370g frame) | Heavier alloys common |
| Build Ease | Integrated cockpit & seatpost simplify build | Requires sourcing separate parts |
| Aero Profile | Original aero seatpost design | Standard round posts usual |
Honest Condition (Rated 6/10): This frame shows its history with character. Expect small areas of chipped/peeling clear coat on the top tube and rear stays, plus some sections missing clear coat on the handlebars. Structurally sound and ready for many more miles – ideal for riders prioritizing performance over perfection.
Fit for Intermediate Cyclists: Traditionally suited for riders approximately 5’6″ to 5’11”. Crucially verify your fit using the detailed geometry (55.6cm TT, 53cm C-T ST) or consult a professional bike fitter/local shop before purchasing this used road bike frame. Unleash Kestrel’s speed heritage on your next ride!
