Show me your KHS.

Re: Re:

Thread resurrection, any other KHS's resurfaced since the last entry?

My 1991 Team and 1993 Team:

Ritchey P frame alert.

Very similar, designed by Tom, using the same tubeset and forks, but not brazed by him.

I tried to buy this bike in the 90s. Ordered thru a KHS rep in south america and it never arrived. I waited and waited till i realized their people down here were not for real.

Damn, I'd be gutted waiting and waiting then nothing. I had a brief moment when my '91 frameset was missing during it's journey from the US to the UK.

And I've just bought yet another KHS frame and forks D'oh! Its a 92/3 Montana Comp in 17" as I just love the pink forks and frame.. Will show some pics of some of them at some point when I get some spare time..... I promise.

I will need to sell some of them at some point as I have too many frankly..

Cheers

Not selling the 17" frameset? I have a 21" but it's way too large...

My Montana Pro - picked up cheap on Gumtree and modified with a few bits out the stash in my garage. Actually bought the grips though!

Much nicer once the short, high rise stem disappeared.

Do like wider bars though - opens up whole new possibilities when it comes to hammering it!

I put this together last winter. They're brilliant - light, chuckable and springy.

That's awesome, I love the three speed variation on the S/S conversion. I've got a spare Team frame I'm thinking of S/Sing but that 3 speed is giving me ideas.

Re:

I find 3 speed (tringle?) a great compromise: one for uphill, one for downhill, one for everything else. Saves quite a bit of weight, so with nice wide bars you can wrangle it up silly slopes.

I'm using 'Tringle Speed' if I do this
