It's a really good deal, these bikes were sold $900 when they came out (http://flatlandfuel.com/khetantra2008.aspx).

There are other less expensive complete bikes like the DK opsis and eastern shock, but the KHE tantra is better, because it has better parts like the swissmiss bars and tanaka fork and it's lighter.
