KHE Dirty Buster: The
signature bike is certainly getting more popular - a lot
of good riders these days have signature models out,
which is definately a good thing. But what about a
signature bike from a German Porn Star? She probably has
about as much experience in riding a bike as i have in
starring in a porn flick (ie. none at all ) but here she
is, a Ms Dolly Buster (who I must say looks pretty much
all plastic) with her own bike. Thankfully KHE haven't
actually entrusted Ms Buster with the actual design of
the bike itself - she just has her name on it and a
pretty rough illustration on the downtube.
In all, its a strange thing to have a bike named after
a German porn star, but what the hell. The bare bones of
it is that this is a real good bike, especially for
around £275. It will work for street riding, its size
means that it will fit most riders out there and feel
good for trails and the like, and it's built to last with
oversize tubes and very good parts indeed. Its a basic
frame, and it is well designed - a great bike indeed.
