Just done a blind deal on a KHE Maceto ST, I've taken a gamble as I have only seen a couple of pictures

anyone rode or have any feedback on the KHE bikes, missed out on several wethepeople and fit bike co, and bought this one in frustration

I need a new school ride

Don't look a bad ride (just checked out the 2012 model) not sure on what year your one is but full cromo f+f with sealed bearings all round is a great place to start.

what did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Sink · « **Reply #2 on:** March 16, 2012, 11:42 AM »

It looks like the 2011 model Baby blue colour, its got no decals and a few chips/scratches, wethepeople bars, salt rear rim, clear plastic pedals, the rest is stock as far as i can make out, NO BRAKES!!

got it for £110

Sink · « **Reply #7 on:** March 16, 2012, 03:39 PM »

Cool, the seller was a nice enough person, I hounded them all day for info, i would have told myself to f@@k off

Looking forward to getting it and giving it a ride

If yours is anything like my KHE Zenith LT then its going to weigh less than a nats Bollocks and ride like a dream.

Sink · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2012, 04:12 PM »

Thats very nice Jaymz,
the specs say just over 11kg, The Zenith is a tad over 10k so mine will be a smidge heavier!! But tbh after riding old/mid school, any thing will be light in comparison

KHE's make 90% of new school bikes feel heavy, only a handful of highend race bikes are lighter, some find them too light to ride and the front end likes to be up in the air a lot, cant wait to see some pics of your ride. I do love german engineering, I have 2 Dragonflys as well and they are beautifully fabricated frames

Haha, they are indeed lush, mine has a great bar/stem combo to keep weight down its called the anchor bar, when i first saw it iwas like WTF! thats gonna break first time i land badly [which is 90% of the time] but its done its time with me and proved to be aswesome

Sink · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2012, 07:23 PM »

That Anchor combo looks mental one piece stem/bars?

Nothing so luxurious on mine, i'll have to make do with the front loading stem and seperate bars

Jaymz · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2012, 07:28 PM »

here you go

and an action shot

here's my other two germanic babies

Sink · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2012, 08:46 PM »

Loving the action shot

that is a lush bike

whats the rear brake set up on yours? I need to start looking for something any suggestions?

Jaymz · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2012, 08:49 PM »

Its an Xposure lever in blue and an F-Set caliper, unknown cable

here's the caliper, I should have the matching lever, but it was changed before i got it, F-Set are used on most new complete KHE's

cheers fella, I like it, wish i could get out on it more, but its more of a park bike and I like track riding really, not that its no good on the track, i just like my S&M more for that

elevensies · « **Reply #19 on:** March 18, 2012, 05:47 PM »

I like a nice indoor wooden park, but only ever been to one once

there isnt one for miles

we just have the track, some trails and a skatepark with a finish like glass [see avatar pic]

Sink · « **Reply #21 on:** March 19, 2012, 09:53 AM »

I mainly ride street, I use my BMX daily to get to work so just ride what ever i can find!! There is a very small skate park along the route, which i've not had a go on yet but will with the new ride

Sink · « **Reply #22 on:** March 20, 2012, 05:19 PM »

The New school ride landed today, off to ride it home, feedback to come later

Jaymz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 20, 2012, 05:30 PM »

very nice, lush colour, looks like its fot its original cranks too, most secondhand KHE's get robbed of their cranks

Sink · « **Reply #24 on:** March 20, 2012, 05:44 PM »

Guess i wont be riding it home today, i've just broke the star nut in the forks, now cant get the stem off or tighten!!!! HELP!!
