Khs Dj300
Any experience with this frame? I have found some insane deals online for the frame only.

Still kicking.
KHS sucks, and I'm not joking. The reliability of their DJ/Freeride/DH bikes are a bit questionable.

It's likely a 2005 or 2006 model.

I'll be racing a KHS Team XC, full XTR stuff hung off it this year. Should be in this week. I'm looking very forward to it. I know someone who raced his Team bike all last year and didn't have any complaints.

Just my 2c.
