Wow, Kona can't properly resize their images without making them chunkified. But the bikes are kickass.

When I was drooling over Dawgs last night, the 2005's were still up.

Actually, the problem is they didn't resize the images, they left them bigger than their HTML calls for them to be displayed. Browsers do a really quick and dirty resize in that case which looks pretty crappy.

Saw an 06 Cowan today in the flesh. Didn't think I'd like the colour but it sure stands out and after seeing it in real life, I kinda like it.

Wow, both the Kula Supreme and King Supreme are 1K cheaper than I would have thought with the CDN and USA prices being the same. 4K for the Kula, I could get it for just over 50% if I wanted on the Kona local race deal, not bad for a <20lb racer. Hmmmmmmm, good thing I hate the paint color. 2.5K for a King Supreme, hmmmm, might make more sense than sinking more $ into my current bike which is getting long in the tooth.

Yeah, horrible. But this will surely get fixed. And Kona is one of the few manufacturers I know that has such huge images, so props to that.

You guys notice the high-end XC bikes are the same in CAD and USD?

The King Supreme is $4999 CAD or $4999 USD.

A local racer was out cross racing last weekend on a 06 JTS, very nice, if you dig the LOUD paint job. Looks like it would glow in the dark, very 80's, very cool for a cross bike.

I was considering a humuhumu...etc. but it looks like they've cheesed it out for 06 and added a coaster brake.

I can still get an 05 though...I just might.

Just a bit much, could lose the air shock on the frame too.

EDIT: Isn't the Cowan FS seen in that tailwhip crash at the begining of NWD 6?
