Yeah, I have a feeling it was the long chainstays that caused my disfavor with the Trek 400T. Dunno what it is about the KHS Comp. It's not as nice as my old Bianchi Grizzly with Tange Ultimate Ultralight Prestige/Superset-2. Also not as good as my Mongoose with Tange Super-Lite.
I might just be a Tange fanatic. I liked my Tange Champion (#2, I think) Univega Super Special almost as much as my Columbus SL Pinarello.
