KHE realized that most of us are rather broke most of the time ;-) and came up with a new medium budget complete bike:
"The Paris III LT bike is designed to have the style and the strength of a real pro bike but for a fraction of its price! Do the Maths! Along with a super lightweight 32 holes Geisha freecoaster wheelset, a SwissMiss bar, our popular Watanabe seat and Simulatorz pedals, this bike is built around a 1.6kg Sanko CrMo frame fully heat treated! Weight of complete bike: 9.2kg / 20.2 lbs"

Price tag: 799€

looks like a good bike and a good prize. but many will worry about the strength of that frame

This is probably born out of stock they couldn't sell. They call it a cheaper high-end, and it is in fact cheaper, and pretty high-end, thy just forget to mention in the description: "This frame will not withstand whoppers!". 

After i saw that video on youtube,that kid doing a time machine on a KHE Paris and cracking it on what i call a soft fall,KHE needs to yes continue to create light frames But not sacrifice strength. And yes i do reconize that KHE is one of the very few companies that offer a Full Flatland bike."More Muscle,Less Fat"lol               

Very light indeed, but will it be up to the task? It's a Paris, can't be a good start =X

If its a KHE its not a good start.

No offence but Ive had nothing but trouble with my khe bike and ive spent a fortune getting it fixed over the year.

Oh and FYI...guess what...my bike is being fixed again, and khe failed to send the correct parts....

Just want to point out that KHE has about the same failure rate as most companies, and according to Pat they happen to have one of the best warranty departments in the sport.

Just keep that in mind before you get bent.

Just to be fair, I remember the authenticity of that video was questioned in this forum. Somebody posted a close-up of that video just before the rider started the trick, and the frame seemed bent already. Then there was a discussion about warranty issues and, suspiciously, the person who posted the video did not reply. I will not bother searching for these treads. I am sure they can be found if anyone is interested.


I had a good experience with two KHE completes. I bought them after a seven-year riding hiatus. I started riding in 1985, and now I practice around 8 hours a week, at a somewhat progressive mid-school expert level. I crash relatively hard at least once every session. I have used mainly a Paris II for almost two years without any major issues. Also, I should point out that I am my own mechanic.

This is my personal experience. I just have read so many negative things in this forum that I thought this might help to put things into perspective.

jesus an entire decent bike for under a g is a good start.

get this then swap sh*t out as it breaks and its STILL an awesome deal.

I mena how can people bitch about a complete?

there is no way you can get any quality at under $1500 alone without buying used parts going without brakes or something hokie like a missing drive train.

dotn even get into the specifics of a custom...and its pricing. Try adding up a few things alone..

bars despite quality $60

forks despite quality unless you buy 2004 technology  $100

frame despite quality $300 unless its a simple from Pat.

ass prop system seat and post $50

wheels despite quality we'll say TAska $200

tires $40


brake s/fronts $50

that'd be 8 hundo

a stem and tubes and headset brings it up to about $900.


with everything underestimated or atleast generously priced at that.

then you still need


four pegs

cranks

chain

pedals

tensioners maybe

money to play lottery so you can wait for god to intervine and send you a better bike.
