Here is my pride and joy, a 1996 KHS Alite 3000. It's got the easton tubing and I've swapped the finishing kit for ritchey bits. The wheels and tyres are upgrades/replacements but other than that it's pretty much stock. Without a doubt the nicest frame I've ridden.

Love these bikes, can you remember the soft tail they used to do? I was in my local Halfords the other night and they were servicing a tiny 13 inch Comp Elite. It was being ridden to work every day and had full Purple kit: Machine tech canti's, levers, canti hangers, cranks, Ringle hubs, purple bars, stem, seatpost etc it looked amazing.
 
Yeah they're nice. There's a single speed soft tail on ebay.com at the mo but I just can't justify the expense at the mo! I do think khs are a very under-rated manufacturer, this frame just inspires confidence on the singletrack. Next time I do cannock chase it's definitely coming with me, the hire bike was horrible!

That was a close as I could come to a smile, I didn't want to admit that it was actually freezing and I couldn't feel my fingers!

Size-wise it seems fine, it's a 19 inch frame and with the height I have the saddle I can only just touch the ground with the tips of my toes. Maybe it had shrunk due to the cold!

I hope your just talking about the bike!!! :oops:
 
In my defence I was wearing shorts! My Khs jersey turned up today from Australia, unfortunately it swamps me, definitely a freeride top.
