Shelby vs. Kirkham

The first criteria was aluminum versus aluminum. There are plenty of threads about fiberglass CSX versus SPF and/or ERA or fiberglass CSX versus Kirkham.

The second criteria was that someone followed through and eventually bought one or the other.

Just a theory, but maybe the people who want and buy a CSX, know exactly what they want and they buy it, without all the questions and banter online.

No, that's what I meant. Apples to apples... forget the fiberglass crap. I was trying to remember if anyone (other than Evan) had actually come down as saying that, mechanically, they were either equal or Shelby was ahead. I don't believe that has ever been posted here in a serious thread.

Well, obviously there are more than a few who prefer the CSX for sure, including Evan and Allan A, who come quickly to mind. They bought a long time ago, but I can't think of anyone recently posting questions and who had not purchased one, considered both, then bought the CSX. Though my memory is fading.

Has there ever been an unhappy Kirkham owner? We've had several unhappy CSX owners. I remember there was one guy here locally, I think in Scotts Valley, who loved the CSX, but then had all sorts of issues with his front suspension, which he had to sort out locally. Was that 'shebyracer'?
