I have a K Team Racing SL aluminum frame and it is a fantastic bike. As far as ride quality is concerned is it stiff in all right places. It accelerates well out of the saddle and excels while climbing. This climbing prowess is due to the bikes light weight (16.1 lbs for an aluminum frame/carbon fork with sram red, zipp aluminum cockpit, and mavic ksyerium sl wheels). Despite its race oriented geometry it is still very comfortable for long hours on the bike. I can also attest to the bikes durability on long stretches of dirt and gravel. The paint job is stunning. Zane worked with me to get exactly what I wanted and took a few professional liberties that took the bike to a whole new level. Even if you took a magnifying glass to the paint job you not be able to see any imperfections anywhere. All in all i can't say enough about the quality and kindness of the folks at Kane Custom Bikes and would have not problem recommending them for any of your paint oriented, carbon repair, or custom bike needs.
