oh dear, I have both the karakoram was bought as a winter bike though but have rather enjoyed the way it rides. Have to admit it isn't 'special' but it has got me interested in getting a psyclone one day.
my special list at the moment would be
psyclone
any ritchey
an original breezer
yeti ultimate
EWR(edit to include)
also have just bought a purple wicked so this may redress the balance a bit. AFWIW I really like the KHS

The bike is just the tool, it's the rides that matter..
