2004 Kappa K Z-26

Kappa K Z-26" Cruiser   I bought this frame and forks from Ed and built it up, this is an awesome cruiser. I had to send it to the Frame Doctor for a repair and he had it powdercoated for me. Tim did an fantastic job on it, I highly recommend him. I emailed Scott from Kappa and he told me there are only six of these frames ever made and this one was his first one. This is my daily cruiser, its a blast to ride. Here is the parts list:
Kappa K Z-26 frame #Z01

Powerlite 2nd Gen.  Cruiser bars
DK Retro polished stem

Kenda skinwall 26x1.95 tires

Re: 2004 Kappa K Z-26

Thanks for the compliments guys, it had the seatpost still stuck in the frame. I thought it was worth getting it repaired correctly from the Frame Doctor. It turned out awesome and rides great too!

Re: 2004 Kappa K Z-26

Thanks guys, I am not 100 % sure on the year. Scott from Kappa told me it was the 2nd 26" frame he made and the 1st of the "Z" 26" frames made. I tried emailing him on the year and he hasnt got back to me. Let me know if you have anyother info.
