and yeah i will (after this sumer holiday thing, first day of summer) ask the "lbs" (some bike guy im guessing) about what they can offer... and then ill report back here to see how much it SHOULD be...

ok thanks i actualy got somthing out of this

EDIT: oh and thanks for the brand naming

Can't go wrong with a Kona- Hydraulic brakes work better than cable. The Hoss is a solid bike- but mainly for Heavy weight/ big riders. In fact- If you are on the "Clydesdale" side- (Big and Heavy) This is probably the best bike you can get.
