Well I was a spoiled rich ***** growing up & never learned the meaning up work ethic. Then I turned 18 & my dad told me the only thing he would pay for anymore was college & medical emergencies. So yay for learning the meaning of a hard day's work years later than any person should. Better late than never though, right?

5'10. I'd have to go to a Kona dealer & at least sit on a 16" Five-O to get an idea of the geometry, but I think that with a long stem &/or high offset seat post, I could make it work for my mostly-XC riding. I prefer my bikes to run a little small rather than a little large anyway.
