Americans rise up and boycott this non U.S. corporate turd.  We had the originals, let the rest of the world settle for a cheap imitation.

Your call to arms may be a bit misguided, as you cant boycott something that is not available to you.

But rise up.smile

Re: Bring the KOS to the USA!!

I haven't been able to find one in Europe yet.  This shop in Australia sells it: 

http://www.bikeexchange.com.au/bicycles … /102127411


You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced because every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half-hour or so. So, over at the VA they had to replace it with a plastic one and it ain't as strong. So, I don't know if I ought to go sailing down no hill with nothing between the ground and my brain but a piece of government plastic.

Re: Bring the KOS to the USA!!

In all seriousness tho.
What are thoughts on getting a set of those pads?
Think it might be a reasonable quest?
I would love to have a set on a Goose that isnt 26.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm not dying for one, but wouldn't pass it up either, and would of course make some mods ...

Re: Bring the KOS to the USA!!

honestly its all about not wanting to pay KOS for his name usage. current mongoose (doral) could not reach an "agreement" to license them in the states. so.....yeah they wanted the rights for free, basically. Jeff said they only paid him on the very few that were sold here.

Re: Bring the KOS to the USA!!

I think the 2013 Kos is a slide backwards. The paint colours look off, and why drop the triple butted frame?

Heres my 2012 with heaps of changes. An elephant could safely ride this thing.

Sweet KOS.

Have you ridden an old one? An elephant could ride those too. The original KOS is a real beefy bike.

He didn't make them.  Also it does say in his listing but the bar pad is damn near useless because it is so short.
