I have come accross a great deal on a KHS road bike...

KHS SITE (http://www.freeagentbmx.com/04bicycles.html)

These are the two I am torn between.... Flite 700 (http://www.freeagentbmx.com/04-Flite-700-web.jpg)....TA320 (http://www.freeagentbmx.com/04-flite-ta320-web.jpg)...

Can any reccomend this brand of bike, anyone own one ?

Thanks in Advance.

Abel


P.s. What is the difference between between the two models as far as anyone can tell, because I honestly cannot, other than the handle bars.

Both these bikes have the same geometry. Both frames are Double-Butted Alloy Frame w/Muscle Stays . It comes down to the compents. You could buy the TA320 and remove the areo bars and swap the stem and have the same bike as the Flite 700 but with a different componet selection. Personally I would stay away from the KHS bikes and go for a 2004 Scattante R650 Double from Supergo.com It is compariable in price and has all Ultegra componets. The Scattante R650 frame is also much better in quality.
