KHS Titanium

Hmmm, I wonder if I paid too much for this?
In one sense, £226 posted doesn't seem much for a reasonably respectable titanium frame if the geometry is right - less than half as much as an equivalent Kona after all. But still I think they can go for less.
I'll probably struggle to find out anything about it, but I doubt whether it was made in the US. Does anybody know? The seller says its serial number is ahfm519501011. Hard to know what that might mean, unless the 9501 part is trying to tell me something.
He also said it's a 1 1/8, the seat tube c-t is 16", and the top tube c-c along the tube is 55cm. So with a head tube that looks to be 11cm, it's basically the same size as a size 17 Hei Hei. Which is my size. For half the money.
Hmmmm

bang on the money i would say. ive seen 2 go for about the same and watched one fail to sell with 300 bin.
however you might have seen this ad in your travels
http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/538792/
and think an old ad for one in tha sales section on here got bumped a couple of days ago too, was 170 or something.
which makes 7 ive seen in about a year, none have had repairs on them, which has to be a good sign
fyi, seat tube is 27.2 and bb is 68. came with mag21s originally so i assume they are corrected for 80mm. ive been riding mine all summer with 420mm rc31s, no complaints
