Mountain Biking - kona bike!! I THINK I FOUND THE DREAM BIKE

Hey guys I wanna tahnk you for all the help in the past I just want to have someone insure me that i am making the right decision by getting the kona nunu. it is 700 dollars and has lx/deore, shimano disc(my favorite so far), bomber shocks, and a nice kona 7005 aluminum frame. As you know(most lol) I will do XC and small jumps and drops. so this is the right bike?

You could always look at the specialized P2, personally I think its better than the kona. P2 will be less of an xc bike though http://www.specialized.com/SBCBkModel.jsp?san=03P2&bl=mountain&my=2003

why dont you think I should get the kona? or anyone else why should I? i had heard that freeride bikes since they are more sloped arent that confortable as xc.

I am not 100% sure what you are saying (sorry but the english is really broken). But here goes

The Nunu is better for xc. Has less sloped toptube and will be lighter. The P2 is like the roast/stuff and is better built for light freeriding and djing. If you plan to do xc buy the Nunu.

Is that what you were asking?

sorry about my english all these years of aol instant messanger really screws me up. My question was basically how will this bike work for xc,ruggid trails,small jumps(i mean small), and little drops.

p2

also how will a freeride bike work for xc ect.

The kona will be a good bike, its more for xc. If you do bigger drops and jumps the geometry of the specialized will be much better. Freeride bikes are really fun on trails, especially big squishy bikes.:D

The P2 fork has more travel. If youre going to be doing drops and jumps, Id take that into consideration.

can someone tell me exactly what this bike can do? like list the different types of riding it could handle eb specific though cause i dont really know the definitions of all the different kinds of riding

thanks

man, kona bikes rule!!!!

check out the Marin Nail trail before you make a decision. The Avid Mechs are 10 times better that the shimanos. They are easier to adjust and they perform better. the two bikes have almost identical specs other that the brakes.

i have decided on getting the kona. I am so happy after all this shopping around. maybe now i can come to these forums for help and tips with actual biking

This bike is a xc bike. It will handle trails and very small dropoffs and rundowns. It isn't meant for abuse but a good xc jaunt into the woods :)...

Konas have always treated me right (i own three of 'em, sort of), but I've never owned a bike with suspension, so take that for what it's worth.
