2011 Ketch Karma V2

The newest Ketch fresh of the jig as of 04/22/2011

This is an updated Ketch Karma V2 aimed at flatland.  The back end has been shorted just a bit from 13.65" to 13.4".  The top and down tubes have been changed to .035 wall tube from the previous .049 wall tube.  The rest of the bike remains the .049.  This has lighted the bike up but kept the strenght.  There has also been a slight refinement of the rear dropout configuration.  As before foot friendly, no tubes tearing up your instep.
The handle bars are by Fat Rat.  Forum member Matt Thomas produced these and hopefully will keep making them.  8" rise with a 4" high cross bar and knruled clamping area, and a narrow knee friendly design.  Truly a quality product.
