There are the standard offerings where most anything goes and these are built with a variety of lugs and mostly from a mix of Reynolds 725 and made for Kirk Reynolds and then there is the JK Series. The JK series has just been expanded to include 3 models - the original JK Special road bike, the JK Cross cyclocross bike and the new JKS X oversize road bike. The tubes used in the JK series are much more expensive and time consuming to work with and consequently the price of the JK bikes is higher. I hope that makes it more clear. Dave Hey Scott,

I don't feel there is a hard and fast weigh line that if you fall below the bike is too stiff and if you are above you need it. For many it will come down to preference - if you like that bomber feeling that comes with a very torsionally stiff bike then you'll love the JKS X. Give me a call when you get the chance and we can talk about it. Thanks again for the comment. Dave Good Morning,

For say a 170 lb 6 foot 1 guy (me!) would the JKSX be a bit overkill? I need to call ya up and chat about this. Awesome stuff, Dave.

It sounds like materials as well as the fittings are becoming more available for the ideas that may have been out there but until now haven't been able to be realized. It also seems that despite the economy and such that we've been in a new golden age of high quality custom built items. Good luck with it. Dave the new “stuff” is way to cool!
