A E Bike sold me a KH 20 for $363 last spring. Then Kris caved in to
shops that wanted him to enforce a MSRP against A E Bike. So they can't
advertise their real price, or he will cut them off. You can read all
about it in this thread.

Cool posts from Kris and A E B that pretty much explain the story.

I don't know what A E B is charging now, you have to email them and
ask.

I kinda got the opinion that Kris likes the retail bike shop model of
distribution. Uni's are a very niche market, and will remain so IMHO. I
wonder how many more units KH would sell if he shipped them from his
own web site for $350 each ?

The internet mode of sales isn't the future, it is the present LOL !. I
bought all my uni's on the net, and I bet that is true for most of our
purchases in the last 5 years. Screw retail LOL !🙂

Anyway, read the thread I linked to above. Kris and A E B had
interesting things to write. I think that KH wholesales the KH 20, at
least last spring,for around 325 $. Then A E B added 10 % and sold it
to me, I guess.

Because the USA dollar is going down lately, I think the wholesale
price of a KH (or any imported thing) should go up in the USA. The $400
ish price is a fine buy for an excellent uni IMHO.

Hi there
I can do cheaper prices via email, but a bit higher than our old
prices. We weren’t making much at all after shipping.
I can sell a new UN2020 KH trials for $415 + $20 shipping within the
USA.

Thats from AE.

AE still gives a pretty good price at $415 + $20 Shipping. The ebay deal
is also very nice.

I am guessing that Kris is going to have newer KH20s comming out soon
and the distributors want to get rid of all the old inventory first.
Lets face it who is going to buy an 07 when you can get an 08 with
improvements.

However for the AE Bike and the Ebay prices it is probably a good deal
to get the outdated model. I bought my KH29 2005 model at a nice
discount from MDC after the 2007 model came out and don't regret it.

Why sign your name at the bottom of your post when we can just read
your name by looking at your user 😄

I feel that it is just curteous to sign the name. Basically thread
posting is parallel to writing a letter. I would never write a letter
without signing the bottom. If this bothers most people here on the
forum I will stop. This is the first time someone has mentioned this
and I have been a regular contributor to the forum for about two years
now.

Not that I know anything you guys don't. It's just that Kris tends to
write about new stuff long in advance. Maybe he will change his MO this
year, but it seems unlikely. Plus the 07 had a lot of new stuff, and
seemed well received. It seems a bit early for a major revamp at this
time. The new moment cranks are so popular people are putting them on
other uni's. So my crystal ball says no real changes for 08, besides
what Kris has already wrote about, the geared hub, etc.

Rising fuel costs raise shipping costs, and for manufacturers,
production costs. This is even more incentive for KH to not fix what
isn't broke. Even if he changes nothing, he must pay more to get his
stuff now.

I think that the current 400 ish price is unlikely to get better this
year, if ever.Taiwan (source of most KH parts), will be hit bad by
rising costs of materials and energy. I think they have to import
almost everything, and are heavily linked to the declining USA dollar.
So if you want one, buy now LOL !🙂

Feel the Light could be right and there will not be any revamps on KH
models in 2008. There usually are sales after Christmas to get rid of
unsold inventory.
Kris has also stated that in he was going to make gradual changes to
his equipment like the "two holed" cranks that came out a few months
ago. Who is going to want a Fusion Freeride 2007 saddle if lets say a
new saddle with a desinged in grip for SIF comes out? I think that we
are going to see some changes in the KH models this year. Probably not
revolutionary changes like withthe 2007 but Kris is an inovator and he
will keep working to improve his product. Besides, he probably has more
time to work on improvements now that he can't ride aggresively. Let's
hope that he heals up fast and completely!
