The teocali comp was a really good bike... Bighit was right about the frame... just upgrade one at a time. truth is I missed that ORANGE bike

it climbs really well. If I didn't had such a great deal on a Intense 6.6 I would have kept that bike. but since it defeats the purpose of having 2 all mountain bike I had to sell the mongoose.

OP - Did you factor in the 15% coupon you can use online?

cru jones · 09-21-2008, 03:35 AM

Save up and get the Force. The mongoose is a nice bike but youll have more room to grow with the GT. Get what you really want.You'll regret it if you dont!!!!

Bikes have a life span(shelf life) of a year if you belong to the site.....buy the one you can afford now and continue to save....regardless of which of those 3 bikes you get....you'll want to upgrade in a year...it's happened to ALL of us....

The only regret you should/will have is if you continue to sit around analyzing and don't just a get a bike and get out and start riding.

I think that is the best answer I have been given so far. Thanks

For what it's worth (not much) I would get the Kona. Those bikes take a lot of beating and say "thank you sir, may I have another!"

It took me over 3 years to get my "dream bike." After having that bike for about three weeks, I found another bike I wanted. It's a never ending process. Just buy a bike and go ride it!

But, like I said... I vote Kona.

bvader · 09-21-2008, 01:59 PM

+1 on Kona
You get alot for your money and they are tough!

graves.z · 09-21-2008, 02:29 PM

Kona's are good. I love my Dawg. You should check out the path. They have all their old bikes on sale and they do financing.

dirtvert · 09-21-2008, 03:29 PM

regrets? i've had a few. but, then again, too few to mention.

(i did it my way)
