+1 on the frame material. High Tensile steel fork and frame are going to make for a stiff, rough riding bike that will be on the heavy side. It will also rust faster if any scratch or nick breaks through the paint. All this might not be a problem, but I am surprised that KHS is bringing in such a bike.

I would set your sights just slightly higher and look into a bike that will exceed what you think you can do. There are many bikes that will fit you and give you good service.
