Bikes: 04 Kona scrap

I hate cheap bikes! My previous ride was from "Source for sports" and although they are somewhat a bike shop, they are not strictly bikes. The thing did take alot of abuse, but here is the list of problems I had with it. I gues I rode it a little hard for what it was ment for....
1st-new drailer
2nd-new drailer
3rd-new drailer
4th-snapped swingarm (and not even a big jump either)
5th-new drailer
6th-ok fed up with drailer, had the chain cut short and put a chain guide "one speed drailer" thingy. LOL bent the hell out of that. So I put the chain on two bigger sprockets to make up for the slack (the new gearing was not 2 in the front three in the back, so 6th gear)
7th-bent back rim, was replaced by sun rim (and new tire)
8th-you know where the front forks "open" at the bottom to grab the front axel, snapped that right in half, I have no Idea how I was just riding it and I noticed it cracked, then ten minutes later it was off. So i found a way to tighen the front wheel on, sorta "shoved" the metal piece back in place, then electrical taped it all together.

The next week I picked up m Kona!

Ok I copied and pasted that from another post I recently made because I didn't want to type it all again. And no it wasn't a "X" mart bike, but it wasn't from the best shop either. I still have it. But the.. o yeah I forgot to mention I striped the crank too.
