KHS aerotrack

Hey guys,

I have now emigrated to the states and am looking at getting a bike. Does anyone know much about the KHS aerotrack?

I found one I can get on CL for about $300 (£150). It is a 1998 I think.

I have never heard of them, and was wondering if anyone knew anything. It looks like it comes with Sugino 75 cracks, which suggests a decent quality of components.

300 dorra is a good deal

Thats what I thought.

Slightly worried, because the guy selling it thinks the frame is 60cm. Which seems kinda big for a track bike. I just hope he measured from the bottom of the bb

60 is about right

...the frame is 60cm. Which seems kinda big for a track bike.

Eh????

Am I talking stupid?

For some reason I thought that track bikes didn't go up to very large sizes. Maybe I just was getting confused by the Panasonic and Bridgestone Japanese ones...

racist!

you sure were.
silly rob.
anyhow, 60 would be too big for you buddy, and that looks to be the correct sizing.

darn,

My conversion was 59cm. I will check it out still as it might be worth getting for 300 and trying to sell on ebay or something for more.

I think it seems great, as good as a bianchi pista but a lot more interesting.

I fyou spruced it up with a paintjob etc, maybe change the stem. You could quite easily make it drool worthy!

I am looking into getting a new KHS flite 100 myself, gonna cost me about £350 shipped from the US. Or I can wait till autumn when the distributor is getting some into the UK, thing is I think they will be gawdy charge plug look a like for 2009 models.

the new ones looks almost exactly like a fuji track!

I ended up getting it today for $280

Sugino 75 crankset, cinelli pista drops, nice mavic wheelset on some high flange track hubs (not sure what yet). Ugly ass stem and gooey gumwall tires.
But it sure does ride nice. The clearance on the front fork in about 1mm.

Thinking of getting it painted as it is kinda scruffy looking

Pretty sure I could sell it for more than I got it for if I am not feeling it.

congrats, good buy

correction, looks like a fuji OBEY track.

Check the crown on the fork. I loves thems crowns. Looks waay better than a regular fuji track in my opinion.

motoko what are you doing july 4th?

motoko what are you doing july 4th?

I'll be here in Dallas. Having burgers and sausage from the BBQ, then going to the FC Dallas game in the evening.

Would have loved to do the July 4th ride, alas I flew back to the States last Thursday.
