The Kona Scrap is a bit better in comparison like It has an alivio up front as opposed to an Acera. It has Shimano m-475 discs.. and they're a bit better than the Tektro's I have. The Scrap has better ground clearance.. cuz it's a DJ bike and the HR is more of an XC bike. The Scrap has a bashring too but the HR has an extra 3rd ring giving it more speeds. The Scrap also comes with Jack**** platform pedals.
The Kona Scrap would obviously have a better bang for the buck because you're getting alot of better components for just 10$. BUT it is extremely hard to get a Scrap for that price.
I got it when the store had a blow out sale so that they could have room for 05 bikes. The shop is rather small. Plus, I'd waited for a hell of a long time, bf members know this.
