Here's my 2003 Giant Iguana w/ disc brakes. So far I have upgraded the springs to the firm kit, dk ironcross pedals, Panaracer Pyro Tires and ODI lock on grips. If only spring would come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks good. The all silver tone makes it kinda stylish too. I'm not familiar with the Iguana. What are the specs?

Ah, let's see. Deore rear, Alivio front. Deore levers and shifters. Sram 7.0 cassette. Manitou Six Sport fork. Sounds like a great bang-for-buck bike. Too bad they don't sell them in The Netherlands. :(

Thanks alot guys. I'm trying to convince my wife that I need a Kona Stinky Dee-Lux but she still say's no, damn it! Oh well she does the job. And yeah it is a great bang for the buck. I got it on a spring sale for $500. I think it was a good deal.

Oh well she does the job.

Your wife or your bike? I'm confused I think! j/k!

Ride it till it dies, then get the Stinky!

Or, do what I did,and buy your wife a better bike than you want. Then, you say, "Well honey, it's not as good as YOUR bike." That knocks the wind out of her sails!

Hahaha I couldn't get my wife to even look at a bike. I bought her a Huffy last summer and she rode it 3 times. She hates bikes and thinks I'm stupid for spending as much money as I do on them. I'm getting the Kona no matter what she say's though. I got a teaser ride in yesterday. It warmed up to about 45 so I went for a ride and jumped some snow piles and stuff, it was great! Can't wait till spring.
