Strengths:    Very light and stiff! Responds well if you put the hammer down out of the corners. I'm a sponsored racer, but I know how much it retails for and nothing comes close.

Weaknesses:    Top tube should be welded in line with the seat stays, that will increase its strenght. Broke at seatstay, BUT will be replaced after I wrote this review of a great bike.

Bottom Line:   
I rode a Cannondale Scalpel last year and miss the rear suspension, but the the KHS makes up in its responsiveness out of the corners. Climbs GREAT! You can't get better for the price! Great deal.

Strengths:    KHS Alite 4000 frame is stiff with nice geometry and the "powerstay" rear triangle is unique yet useful. Perfectly welded and reinforced. Nice paint and decals, too.

Weaknesses:    Guess What?!?! Aluminum is stiff!

Bottom Line:   
Very Tight! I was planning to get a Trek 8500 or Specialized Team hardtail frame. Trek and Specialized were over priced. For about $500-$900 it's the nicest frame I've seen.
