Um...it's a flatland frame. That's what flatland frames look like, huge gusseting or extra tubing to close up the front triangle and bring the down tube in closer (mine's actually up under the BB shell making the BB look like a big cylindrical unitesticle). The head tube angle is steeper and forks have low or in many cases zero offset, bringing the front tire WAY in close and requiring the need for even more frame clearance to allow you to scuff under it. The only thing I kinda prefer in a flat frame the KHE doesn't have is a more compact rear triangle with seat stays ending just under the top tube.
