I do not own a KOF bike, but I have seen some and think they are in many ways just as beautiful as many of the respected old classics. I don't know the difference between Columbus Genius and the modern Reynolds tubing but they appear from the outsider point of view to be quite similar to SLX or 531. The question is.. If I close my eyes and ride a KOF bike built with popular classic dimensions and one of the newer Mavic box section rims, will I notice a difference between the modern ride and the true classic?
