Spot on. New Krampus Ops with Rabbit Hole rims and 29" x 3.0" Knards

Very rad. I'm leaning towards this option myself... very cool for our conditions.

Its surprisingly agile for its size and heft. I was a bit concerned about the handling as all the overseas forums indicated that the chainstays were quite long, but I put a chain that I had sized for my Kona Unit (same ratio, 32x19) and never used, and had to take out 2 additional links.

In Italy KHS 4Season 5000 Carbon will be sold at 2.699 euros (official price) fully assembled or at 1399 euros for frame-kit and fork.

 

These days KHS 4Season 5000 Carbon is on display at the Eurobike fair in Germany.

Apparently this frame is produced by a Chinese company named Q2Cycling. They used to sell it direct to the consumer, but then signed with KHS. MTBR forum discussion says Q2C can no longer ship to USA, but does ship to Europe. Maybe SA too?

One of the unbranded ones (owned by dfiler on MTBR forums):

Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with the 190x12mm rear Chinese fatbike frames - they require minor mods to prevent cassette, rotor and RD rub :wacko:

I had a choice of these, white, orange or black... Went with black, figured the bike is 'stand out-ish' enough already...
