Good thread!
cheers, Dave

I have the KHS ad from a November 1994 MBA mag, with this bike in the ti color. Mark Howe was the sponsored pro rider featured in the ad campaign. i'll scan it and post it here tonight or tomorrow. (Which might mean next week)

right, fell out of love with this bike for a while but motivated myself to get it rideable a few evenings back and here is the result..

it is another shed floor build. frame fork headset and wheels as supplied (masg 21 sl ti, m900 xtr rear hub, sun/ringle front curve levers, lx brakes, syntace bar (modern i know but with a 9 degree sweep, very comfortable) dx spd's, xt cranks, cheap post and a peroid flite

What that does is give you a ridable bike.
What it also does is give you a platform to improve upon

Absolutely Right ben. The plan is to ride it and get it back to spec gradually. When i've got everything i need i'll tear it all down and create a catalogue spec minter. Hopefully!

The crankset/stem/brakes/etc were also supplied
Kinda miss this bike, as it was an excellent beater, enough performance to make errands and commuting, with the occasional trail detour, fun, but still able to lock it up on the street without fear of it being stolen.

Glad to see you are rebuilding your love for it
