Did anyone go to this?

Pho'dUp · 04-25-2005, 01:18 PM

I did with a few friends.

It was cool. I tried a 7X7 inch travel Kona Stinky. Rode up the Truck Trail and down the Luge. This was my first time riding a big bike and it didn't actually climb that bad. Usually I ride a XC FS Kona or an Enduro. But definitely the thumbs up to the Fox DHX coil shock on that thing. Made the bike pedal pretty well but was uber-plush going down the luge.

The Path guys and Kona guys were cool guys.

I went and rode a Kona Dawg. My buddy rode the Stinky and we switched off... I loved the stinky. It climbs surprisingly well for such a heavy 7" travel bike.

Anyhow... to make a long story short... I ended up going to the path and picking up a 2005 Kona Coiler. I rode it for the 1st time on Sunday and it rocks!! Light enough for climbing and it is amazing on downhills... Im so happy!! I can't say enough about the coiler... if you want a solid bike with a ton of travel that you can still use as an XC bike... THIS IS IT!!!
