The KHS is maybe not my type of a bike, but the story behind the bike is wonderful. So far the best…

Does just frame and forks count?

Is it? Well! Is it a zaskar?

Yes, yes it is.

Only the front mech is original, the Venhill Racing bolts were fitted that afternoon. Frame has done around 45,000 miles and it has been rebuilt countless times of the last 3 decades, It will be 30 next year!
