Been holding onto a 2001 KHS Bitch frame for about a year now.....it had never been used. I couldn't stand it no longer and had to build it up. Special thanks to Mr.Tiles and Booger for all the help getting her together. I finally have an urban specific bike!! :D :dancing:









Here she is along side my FR2000 :thumb:


And here's the whole damn family......even the red headed step-child :drool:

You have two choices.........completely deflate the tire or remove one of the slave cylinders... Since I only run about 18psi I usually just deflate the tire. :thumb:

sorry to rain on the parade, but i think the bitch is the ugliest frameset i've seen for a while. however, aesthetics won't keep you from enjoying it while riding, so have fun.

It must be a bitch to pedal.
When I looked at the frame geometry before I had it built I was more that concerned that it was going to suck but it doesn't at all. It's super easy to pedal, body positioning feels comfortable, etc. Now I don't think I'd wanna take it on a trail ride over 7 miles or so........but it's not a trail bike anyhow. Putting the 24" on the back makes it feel very cruiser BMX'ish.........but I'm yet to ride it anywhere other than my driveway.

I cant help it, but everytime i look at that frame i think about a kick to the :nuts:, I just dont understand why the decided to make the top tube actually rise to decrease standover...kind of insane in a market where we like to keep our boys actually safe. What is next metal spikes on the top tube of '06 khs lines to make it more "fetish metal core" :rolleyes:...to each his own

The Bitch has plenty of stand-over so it's not an issue......my FR2000 however does not but the bend in the top tube on it is not as drastic as the Bitch. I'm not sure what the point is in the bend in the top tube......it's effect on stand-over is minimal but that minimal measurement could save your nuts. The bend might have something to do with frame strength but I doubt it?? They likely did it b/c they thaught it looked cool....
