Anika’s Ride: KHS Montana

“Last fall I gave my originally green 90s KHS a fresh paint job with Spray Bike and made it my ultimate purple dream bike! My favorite details on this bike include the super smooth Microshift friction shifter on my 1x10 drive train, beloved Gravelkings, and Granola-Moose Velo Orange bars with purple-turquoise fade tape doubled up with pink marble grips. I love bikepacking on this sturdy setup and toured it through The Netherlands for two weeks in 2024, I will always cherish the beautiful sights I've seen from the saddle of my purple dream machine 💜”
