    I know the rake seems a little odd, but Konas are known for really good geometry. It should be a
    great bike.

    Probably more of a DH bike than technical or Shore stuff, though.

    That looks like a lot of fun! How would it handle though with rake like that? Guess I wouldn't need
    a mudguard at the front then...

    Would definitely get some admiring looks around here.

    That goes for any bike though. We do wear helmets after all.

    And too bad most 12 year olds don't have $800 to spend on a bike.

    You're gonna put disc brakes, a banana seat and a sissy bar on it, right? Sweet rig. It's begging
    for a custom paint job, too. Maybe even a fake gas tank?

    If I was going to drop some serious bux on a chopper, I'd get something vintage. Like this:

    That's no pimp mobile - that's Kathleen's 'bent!

    Nice bike - gotta have one.

    Proof in the pudding that kona is about hype and gimmicks, not bicycles.

    Proof that what you have to say about Kona is baseless
