KHS Inc. 1999 Brentwood

Price Paid:  $350.00 at LBS

Bike Setup:
mostly lx parts now as the Alivios have gone bk to Jp

Summary:
Still love this bike as it has excellent geometry and stability, just weighed the bike and it was 17lbs on the front and 18lbs on the rear-very balanced ride.
then maybe i"ll spray the frame another color so tt it wouldn't be such an eyesore.
it only gets 3 stars as i get whooped by other riders more often than when i'm riding anything else. maybe it is my technique n fitness dam!

Strengths:
Pretty lookin bike, it came with light brown saddle tires n grips tt complemented the frame's "anitique" colors of cream n maroon. Looks strong, n feels hugely stiff

Weaknesses:
stiffness comes w/ extreme weight, it is probably the heaviest frame i've tried-serious!!!whole bike weighs close to 35lbs, heavier than my cousin's very old F/S frame
now its ugly
w/ black tires, saddle n grips(they wore out after 2 yrs)
it looks terrible

Fleetwood frame with magura Jonny T brakes, Race face cranks + rings, xt derrailers, race face riser, Velocity deep V rear rim + 271 ceramic frount, xt hubs, sachs shifters, primo original seat (spring) and 98 Marzocchi Z2 BAM forks

Summary:
This bike could fly! untill I broke it pretty average for going up hill but quite good at going down, very stable, best part was that the bike as setup was a real head turner, is now retired to my bedroom untill I get enough money to gusset it up and turn it into a 24" slalom racer!!!

Strengths:
Very cool looking frame nice rid just a little heavy? Quite a strong frame (ihad the Fleetwood )

Weaknesses:
Comes with $hit components frame cracked after a big jump, 4ft
