KHS 704 carbon build

Full carbon frame (front and rear triangle). Crankbrothers Cobalt Wheels. Schwalbe Rocket Rons tubeless. Sram X9 shifter/derailleur. Sunrace 11-40 widerange 10sp cassette and oval 34T narrow/wide chainring (both brand new, once you go oval you never go back). Juicy Ultimate Brakes. 140mm Fox Float. WTB Volt saddle. Lots of carbon bits - frame, ritchey pro seatpost, derailleur cage, bashguard, brake levers. Light as a feather!


Now about the size! I built this bike up from my girlfriend who is 5'3. The frame is actually a medium. Modern trail bikes have transitioned to much longer top tubes with shorter stems and slacker headtube angles. Basically the idea is that the center of gravity sits a lot further back to make the bike feel a lot more stable and easier to ride whether on easy trails or the gnarliest. So i wanted a bigger frame for her. I put a longer fork to slacken the headtube angle and a short stem to tighten up the reach. This bike will be perfect for anyone 5'2-5'9. Bike feels and rides just like a trendy new 'short travel trail bike'. Awesome opportunity to pick up a modern 2015/2016-like trail bike at a fraction the cost! (i took the bike for a spin myself thats why the seat is so high, looks kinda funny and awkward in the pictures)
