Finally Got My New Bike!!!! First Full Suspension

yea, i love this thing, its just simply amazing we wieghed it out of the box with one upgrade, new tires, crossmark tires from maxxis, came out to 26 pounds

and this thing is fast as heck, compared to my old hardtail that was a hard rock for cross country, this thing is amazing, not even comparable



theres the link to look at a picture of it
oh and its the KONA THE KING 2006, luckily i work at one of the dealers, so i got a price beyond thought of

Weigh yourself. Stand on weight scale with bike and subject your weight.

Very nice, congratulations!

Here is a great toy to have for weighing bikes, I actually have two of them.



Here is a link to it.
