okay I brought my new bike home I looked at the Kona site and it looks like its actually a 2002 blast ALUMINUM frame. Oh, well I only paid 475 and the geometry seems way different than my Norco so its still pretty cool, I can do wheelies and bunny hop easier, so maybe I can get the form down on that bike. I'm kinda curious about the bike though becuase it has Henry Weinhards and their logo on their, its paint not a decal and it looks like Kona did it. Unless this guy totally BSed me and he is a really good artist and painted that on their then I think this bike is unique. Besides I can tell everyone that I'm sponsered by Henry Weinhards.
