quotes So only because my comment was part of a another one that was down propped, as you said, it has to be hidden?. What if I made a good point with my comment and you guys put it in the "Below threshold threads are hidden" section? It means no one would get to read it. I think the old regulation on the comments section was more accurate.

quotes Thumbs up mate. Even though BMX is not my thing, I also believe it is way gnarlier than MTB. And people should respect everyones opinion, instead of giving neg props like fannies.

quotes Why is PB deleting those polemic comments?....it recently happened to me with a non offensive comment. It starts to be annoying.

quotes Connor Fearon, awesome rider...top rider?, don't think so. Top 30 in the first World Cup, good on Delfs. But if u think Connor won the Aussie Junior Nationals thanks to his Kona, u're out of ur mind!. I've seen him riding shitty bikes just for fun, and it's just insane how fast that kid can ride those almost useless and out of date bikes. So don't tell me Connor won the Aussie DH Nationals (jr) thanks to his Kona. Let me give u another example, Gee Atherton. Won the UCI DH overall with Commencal, which is quite a young brand, now he switched to GT, a company with a lot of experience...a bigger company, u may say. Has he won anything?...he hasn´t, and I reckon its because he hasn't adjusted to the new bike and crew. Lets compare this Kona case with the automotive industry. Hyundai, a company that has been growing heaps and heaps. If i'm not mistaken, it's the 3rd largest automotive company in the world. They recently launched the Genesis Coupe, which is a sport car. According to the reviews it is great car, with a fairly good performance, and most of all, its cheap! ($24 thousands usd). Would I buy it having the $24000?, hell no, I´d buy a second handed car from a company with a large history in sport cars (Audi, BMW, MB, Lambo or whatever) Here is where my point and opinion of Kona make sense, I don't like taking any risk with my money, if I'm gonna buy a bike I'm gonna buy it from a company with a larger history producing top bikes (Yeti in my case). But that's just me, and we can keep arguing about Kona and it would be endless. If u're happy with ur Kona or trusting in the Genesis Coupe, well good on u mate. I'll stick to my well known, reliable, awesome and sexy Yeti...that's just me and a couple of thousands riders around the world.

quotes Oh, idk, frame swapping, not the best geometry. If it is such a great brand, why any top riders ( DH or XC) has signed with Kona in the past 5 years (with the exception of Aggy). And yeh, Kona has one of the largest names in XC, but brands like Specialized, Yeti, Trek, Cove come first: http://www.ehow.com/list_7458426_xc-bikes.html Kona doesn't have as many funds to invest in technology (read geometry, components, etc.) as Specialized, Yeti or Trek has, so those brands are one step forward in terms of technology. You can argue that Kona has improved a lot their bikes and designs, I agree, but u could never compare Kona with the other big brands.

quotes The fact that Kona hasn't or hadn't been a brand with a great reputation makes me choose any other brand over Kona...if I'm gonna spend a couple thousands dollars on a bike, I'm not gonna take any risk, I'm gonna go for a well known brand bike. OK Kona bikes can be affordable, that's true, but even though I had only a few bucks I'd buy a second handed bike.

I share my brothers account, due to I only have a Specialized Big Hit 2009 at the moment. I'm saving up the cash for the Evo.
