ya I know, I'm just thinking that the new Kona's are all gonna be that Scandium material(making them light) so if your looking to score a XC you could get an entire bike , but if you are building a race bike for comp then the frame is the better way...guess it depends on what you need...

How good is this frame? All I need to do is buy this frame, new set of brakes and I have a full suspension rig. The rest of the stuff I can just transfer over from my hardtail.

kona frames are pretty solid jesse and the rp23 is a great rear shock. i think it would be a good sturdy frame for you, if you want to have a bike that is pretty much strictly for xc riding. you would need to buy new shifter cables and im pretty sure a new front deraileur as well as a new seatpost...everything else should transfer i think.

My wife had her wisdom teeth removed yesterday and my daughter is VERY 2 years old, especially when it comes to sleeping. I went to bed after 11PM and woke up for good at 3:30AM.

Now where's the "I'm so tired I want to cry" smiley??
