So who's got one? Let's throw out some pics. Pretty sure there is a forum for it already...but while we're here why not. Anyone interested?

I don't have a United KF22, but I have had several 22"s.

The first one was the Faction Zeitgeist back in Dec 2008. (Pictured here, on the right).

Not a real 22", but this is what a 24" We The People Avenger looks like with 22" fork and 22" wheels:

lucky as hell I've been looking for a taj frame as a wall hanger for a number of years haven't been able to find one. Also tried finding an old barcode.

I can confirm that the KF22 is quite simply stable as f*ck. It holds it's speed better than any 20" I've ever ridden. I actually find jumping and manualling it much easier especially as I'm swapping between this and a MTB.

Only had a blast round a small pump track, keen to get it on some big trails soon!

Sold my 20" and built a 22" ATF to compliment my DJ bike and boy if you have the money go for the ATF, worth every penny.

Going back and fourth from this bike and my DJ is so easy and the learning curve getting used to the 22" was almost nothing. I'm so stoked i went for it.

Mainline tyres, are they good?

Supposed to be 2.4 front & 2.1 rear, but heard they come up quite big anyway. The 2.4 is supposed to be massive! So I'm looking to go 2.1 front & rear I'd imagine.

Any thoughts on these??

Yes, the Mainline tires are excellent. I've had zero problems. I have 2.1"s and they are plenty big--they look almost identical to the 2.2's on my other bike.

even on 20 inch i cant deal with anything wider then 2.1 in the rear. but yeah monster truck up front, i find wider tires have more cushion.
