Was going to buy a crap KHS, but settled on a crap 2005 Raceline instead. Puss silver/grey colour, but I'll get over it once I rack up a win. :}

It was so easy to justify the extra $400, most of it in build quality of the frame alone. Rest is in overall weight, >1kg diff I'd reckon. I read yesterday that the frame on the Raceline is actually a MONOC (Czech I think) and they aren't too shabby.
