|   khs rigid-one vs. trek bruiser one | Al Hounos
Dec 8, 2001 8:03 PM | | i'm looking for a good urban assault/singletrack/big drops/jumping bike for less than $600. Anybody ridden the khs? Any other options? |
| way better bike | Trevor
Dec 10, 2001 10:31 AM | | A way better bike you can get for around 600 is the Kona Scab, its Cromoly and it handels really well in all enviroments. Its rigid, got decent components and is begging for up-grades. Id suggest the 2002 beacuse the 2001 model dosent have disc brake bosses.

Dec 10, 2001 4:18 PM | | i called the local kona dealer and the best price they could give me was $777. im sure its a nice bike but thats pretty steep for a bike with alivio parts. it does have good frame, cool wheels and nice cranks, so im not crossing it off my list. |

Dec 10, 2001 4:47 PM | | yeah, if thats a no go then Id suggest the KHS. Upon reading about that bike,iam looking into the possibility of getting the frame myself. DO you know where I could purchase the KHS frame. |

Dec 11, 2001 4:34 AM | | yeah 4130, gussets and matte black is tough to beat. have you just look ed at the khs web site or somewhere else? as far as i know, (and i've looked in almost all the big mail order places) a local khs dealer is the only place. even then, they dont keep a bike like this in stock so they have to order it for you.
