For some people its a Klein. For others a Fat. As much as i like and respect the top brands I have always had a soft spot for KHS.
When i was about 13 acouple of guys started a bike shop in a corner of a car showroom in the small town I grew up in. They moved onto bigger and better things and i believe one of the guys went on to the worlds to race downhill.
Anyway, i was impressionable and Manic Mountain Bikes sold KHS. I wanted one. I convinced my dad to buy himself one in 93 - he took the summit model and he and i both loved it.
Upon finding this site I decided to relive my childhood dream and own a high end KHS. I bought and built a 93 Montana Pro which I have loved for the past year or so but I recently had the opportunity to purchace the Team model. This all came about from a throwaway comment I made on a thread on this very forum. A few PM's were made and soon enough the bike was mine.
Thanks to Rob aka GoldeneraMTB for your patience and generosity.
I intend on subjecting the bike to a full rebuild to the very best of my abilities. I want this to be a pretty much catalogue build. It will take a good while as it is all M900 xtr. I'm more an xt/lx kinda guy so it'll take a while to get the cash together.
Not to worry though. the bike came complete so i can ride as is and carry out a rolling restoration.
