That looks like a killer awesome ride. How much more narrow are the tires than what comes standard on the KM?
Those are 40mm Schwalbe Duremes but I plan to replace them with at least 50mm tires ASAP. Right now, my top choice is the Maxxis Torch 2.1" tire. Greater tire clearance and less toe-overlap were the two main reasons I bought the KM. The KM and the Trek 730 have almost the same geometry except for the KM having a 3cm longer top-tube.
I'm already dreaming of another KM or an Ogre to build up with gears. It's going to be hard to give up the single-speed option on this bike. So much fun to ride!
