Just out of curiousity, if you already have a Rockhopper, why are you considering "upgrading" to a lower end bike than what you have?
why cant you upgrade to a 8 or 9 speed? I "thought" all bikes are upgradeable, which is why i dont understand why some frames say "single speed" like on konas online shop.
Wouldnt you just need new shifters and a new wheelset/cassette?
