I heard he's joining the dark side. Kinda ironic considering how much he used to bash their bikes. Of course what can you expect from a pro? Follow the money

Does that mean he's going to change his user name as well?

What was his old handle? SpecializedRider24? :p

So you are selling the kona? Drifting to XC?

Yeh, Im confused too, why are you getting rid of that little beast and buying a low end XC bike? Why not start on a higher end XC frame at least?

Unless your joking about the 4300, in which case I apologise to all, its very late here!

Ok, the thing with trek is obviously fake, I should have one of these in the next couple of days.

Must have been fooling around that weekend, I'm usually at Fox State Forest when putting a more serious effort in.

ooooooo, ic how it is. It was funny anyway because I saw you do it a few times and I was very...umm under the influence of mind altering stuff. It was kind of amusing :D

In 2004 kona started making all the frames in that series the same. In 2003 and 2002 the stuff had the 'weaker' stays. The roast and chute had extra welds and gussetts to create a stronger rear triangle.

The cowan continues that type of build :)...

For djing...hydro brakes aren't needed. I would buy them but I get hydros the same prices as the bb7 with all the crap you need to buy to make it an entire system. And barspins aren't exactly a trick I am working towards :)...
