Bah! That thing is not even a "real" 4-bar. What a POS. I am surprised you can even ride that thing w/o being bobbed right out of the saddle and OTB. You NEED to get a real bike like a V10 with a Fox40 and an AVY rear and sell that Kona. Kona is just a copy-cat company that hasn't even altered their design in like 10 years. Fabien must be on the juice to have won on that hoopty ass bike...











































here's a pic of my old stinky (http://trailslesstraveled.com/media/forums/stinky1.jpg), man I loved that bike...

haha awesome post Sean, but I was reading MBA and they said that you need a 5th element air and a nixon to go anywhere. Without it, you will go to hell. And the ride down will be all bobby and you won't make a single corner or a climb.

Its true cause i read it.

You must have misread that MBA article, I read that Nixon was full of air and rode the 5th Elephant straight to hell. I was on LSD when I read it but I'm sure that's what it said.

Thats ok, I think they were on LSD when they wrote half the stuff they do.

No wait, not LSD, thats naughty.


Maybe it was Jesus Juice.
