Interested in a K2 Brass Monkey frame????
I ended up with it, and haven't built it up yet. It's a small, so it'd make a good DJ frame.
I could throw in the brand new Shiver SC forks I just got!

i can't remember how much the hollowpoints were off hand, but i do remember they were both under 2gs. if i remember correctly, i think one was $1900 or a little less and the other was a bit cheaper - maybe around $1200-1400 range... but my memory sucks so i can't tell you for sure.
i know on sportchek's site they got a sgs fr expert listed for just over $2000 (i wouldn't mind having one of those either heh
).

The SGS expert is awesome. Sorry I forgot your stores likely won't carry the good bikes. My mistake...
hollowpoint is nice but a xc/trail bike. I doubt ironhorse would warranty it under abuse.

I'm still being hanged in suspense. Just a hardtail...
I don't want to end up with my bike broken after some 4 foot drops. LOL It'll take time getting that good.
Do most 600-1100 CDN hardtails (LIKE THE SHRED or STUFF) break under those circumstances?

Dude, it was my crappy KHS frame. I got it in 2000. It was the first bike that I built myself when I was a mechanic. 4 years is still decent for an ALU frame though.

The stuff/shred can handle tonnes. The frames are solid. 4ft is nothing.
Now the wheels. Kona has a tradition of putting the crappiest rims on the market on their bikes. They will blow.
