It was an OK attempt but KHS should have fitted a larger chain ring than the stock 40 tooth to begin with and although the frame hinge was huge it was still just aluminum with no real interlocking faces to keep the junction tight and prevent relatively quick wear of an unbushed hinge. I was able to rectify that weak link but it's definitely the bike's achilles heel. The steering mast, though, was a nice stable and solid steel unit... not pretty but functional.
