New ride
I'm getting a new bike soon.
I was going to get a Norco Sasquatch a few months ago, but now I have a slightly more strict price limit.
It is now between these bikes,
2006 Kona Stuff
2005 Norco Taktic
Opinions? I like the feel of the Taktic a bit better, but the fork (Manitou Stance Flow) has had some very bad reviews about seals being crap and no rebound adjustment, but those are fixable things. The Stuff is being widely suggested, and I would love to have it, but the feel is a little less nice for me than the taktic. And, the taktic is a 24" rear wheeler. I can buy either of them, and love them till I'm dead, But a nudge in the right direction would be nice.

Ive ridden both of those bikes and I gotta say I love the 24" rear on the Tactic, not loving the fork though. The brakes are amazing but Im not loving the rims.
As for the Stuff, the only thing i like better than the Tactic is the rims. The fork isnt the greatest either, and the brakes arnt that great.
I would go Tactic simply because I like 24", the brakes are great, and you can get more money for the fork than with the Dirt Jam, if you decided to upgrade.
