Try staring at your brand new bike whenever you sit in your living room. Makes it even worse.

Thanks for all the compliments, im ready to go tear it up.

so i was looking for a kona hoss that was for sale to see what mine is worth since i might be selling it. I came across this one on craigslist. Who see's a problem here?

I contacted him just to ask him about it. His response "The fork is mounted as it was when the bike was purchased. I bought it from a professional bike shop in Germany." Then in the next email with this closeup pic he said "Your question about the fork sparked my curiosity, I think it is on backward according to the pics of other bikes I've looked at. I would not know one way or another."

Haha that's awesome.

and im not really into road bikes bentlife but you did a nice job with that bike. here is a great read, little long but so worth it especially if you ever worked in a bike shop.

Thanks kona and I love all bikes lol, the reason I love fixies is because how simple they are and how cheap they are to build I have a total of 5 fixies and each one is built on a budget not exceeding 250 bucks that last one cost me 125.00 and each one is a dif color I use them to decorate my house. Have a dif color lugged fixie in each room. For moutain I don't ride anything but specialized, IMO nothing compares to there handling, I'll take a pic of my new bike when it's done ( going with a van halen theme) I have the pic of my custom painted fork, I will post that when I get home. I also have a 1970 schwinn speedster brand new with the original owners manual.

Hey, spring cleaning found a couple tyres I dont need.. Continental Mountain Kings.. 29X2.4 tubes inlcluded.Msrp is around 35-40 bucks. 50 Bucks shipped for the pair. Only about 5-10 miles on the tyres. I'll clean em up before shipping.

pm me if your interested.

hahaha...wait...??? That does not look right to me but I have no experience. This is a joke right? I don't care how ****** the manufacturer is, that is not only 5-10 miles. ? Does someone like taking hard left turns?

 

[konarider94]

just thought id give you guys an update, my new bike is awesome! i took a 2 or 3 foot drop with it and it felt like nothing. i need to find something bigger. fox shocks are the best i have ridden. i think i freaked some people out when i came over the wall behind bigbys

and those tires look fine to me. bike tires dont have sidewall tread.

Thought about hitting the trails myself but jumped on Sara's motorcycle instead. My back is jacked up so a motorcycle was a little easier than a bike. Plus being sick doesn't help either so I am sure I would have passed out from the lack of oxygen riding my bike.

go to your local bike shop and ask to see a new Continental mountain king tire. You will see that these tires dont come with a ton of tread on them. I used these tires on one short ride and a few rides to class before I went tubless on my 29er. Figured I'd offer them here first.. I'll just go straight to ebay I suppose.

Alot of sick bikes on here,big dollars on some.I was on a tight budget and did tons of research on the web and the trails.I have what is known as the " internet bike" it is a Sette' Flite from Pricepoint.com The bike retails for about $2100 and I got it for around $1200 shipped.Small parts list would be Rock Shox Domain 318's,160mm,Rock Shox 3.1,152mm,Avid Juicy 3's with 185mm rotors,Stylo Gpx cranks,Mavic EX729 Disc rims,Kendal Nevegal tires,Easton ea50 DH bars,Easton Vice DH stem,Easton seat post.The bike gets looks becouse it is known as the web bike,but this thing is bullet proof,I'm 6'1" and weigh about 210,and I beat the **** out of this bike.My fav place to ride is Demo Forest in Santa Cruz,ytube it,take this bike off 5 to 8 foot drops and has no problem with landing,no bottoming out and holds up very well,lungs willing I can do everything that the more $$$$ bikes do and a bit more,just to prove the bike.Doesnt matter what you ride, just ride

dont spend too much time in the saddle when your bombing down almost two miles of hills! Sucks getting up there but they ride down is fun.. it was a slippery **** show tho!
