1988 Kastan KEX Pro
1988 Kastan KEX Pro
Bought this frame and fork off of a member,took forever to get all the NOS parts,finally finished it!!!!!
Had this frame listed here before,which I bought off a member.
I raced expert and pro in Salt Lake City Utah,in the early nineties and couldn’t find this frame set in red,took decades!!!HERE WE GO !!!!1988 Kastan Kex pro, never been built up,NOSKastan forklifter pro bars,Nos.DK xxl stem with an original red old school Tange sealed headset and OG Oakley B1Bs not remakes.Kastan seat post,NOS 80s suede Kashimax saddle,also NOS80’s first gen proto typePitbull Brake,have never seen another.NOS RB 17 original chrome rims laced with Sapin pro chrome double butted spokes and anno red nipples.Original Kastan prototype front hub and a Phil Wood rear,which I converted to a 3/8” axle and mounted with a pair of OG Revcore frame savers.Kastan power disc with a PPP sprocket NOS,and a set of eighties chrome chain wheel bolts from a Cyclepro.The cranks are a very lightly used set of full wrap single pinch Redline 185mm 401’sPedals are a never used set up Crupi pro rounds.Tires are a set of staggered Tioga Compe Three Rainbow label,also never used.Got the pads from my man Sittiphol in Asia somewhere,does amazing work...Bottom bracket is an Ashtabula that I hand p@cked the sealed bearings,and searched forever for and built piece by slowly acquired piece!This is the holy Grail of my many race bikes and I hope you enjoy!!!This bike has yet to be ridden.
I have no respect for the clown that separates frames from forks!!
Unless you broke them,don’t separate,so lame... And if we do business, and it goes well. Leave feedback, I will do the same... Let’s go Brandon!!! Always looking for Kastan products and Gary Turner before 1993!

Re: 1988 Kastan KEX Pro
Let me be the first to say that's a sweet-looking Kastan! Well worth the time and effort on the build. Have you ridden it yet?
Check out my 1983 VDC-built Trident, 1983 Kuwi Laserlite, 2010 GT Ultrabox 2, 2011 Crupi race rig and prototype Quamen, plus the all things Crupi & old school scene in Japan threads. Always interested in buying used, mid-school race plates and pads - UGP, Knucklebone and Lizard Skins especially.

Re: 1988 Kastan KEX Pro
Where is the other side of your fork?
With all respect, not a clue what u have there. Think you have plenty of bikes to ride, though don’t leave this one at home, cause she will start with the wondering eyes. Then who knows, she will hook-up w some stranger.
Looks inviting in red.
