Just when did an all-mountain, road & XC bikes sky rocket? My last bike, wheels and all was a Kona Stinky Deluxe in 2011 and it was $2700 out the door and that was lil' high, but it was a year-ender closeout price.
Now I'm looking at regular mass produced 7005 aluminum all mountain bikes with...
OMG, I saw the pics from last year...the parking lot there at the bike shop looked like Beirut towards the end of the event. Activities like that would never happen in the OC, only in LA. I gotta find a junky coaster brake bike and go to that event. Some of those bikes don't even look rideable...
Currently I'm selling a couple bikes on eBay to make room for a commuter w/ upright flat bar/
29er/rigid with mountain components.
As a dirt rider, who loves suspension this question is directed to those who also have one of these:
Am I going to hate riding around on a rigid? Or would I...
Ok maybe this was already posted....wait a few moments....LOL not here, its as quiet as a library after New Years Day...anyways the gearing looks awful but the tires must be worth something.
Ok then this must be an old page:

Where are Knolly frames made?
Designed in Vancouver, BC and tested rigorously throughout Supernatural British Columbia. All frames are manufactured in Vancouver and the United States. Each frame utilizes...
Knolly no doubt, makes solid bikes. They are like Kona---from B.C. but the difference is that they make bikes in Canada and the US (prob Washington State)
I think Kona started the bike thing a few years near the top of the popularity bubble (1997-2005), couldn't keep up with demands and finally...
Welding by hand is expensive, only someone like Donald trump could get it done by hiring legal status Americans to do the job for the current minimum wage and keeping it there.
And losing a profit by not taking on an aircraft contract. Trump is living in a different country and different decade...
that rear tire's pretty close, if it rubs, try the pacenti quasi moto, it will def have room on that arch. I used it for months and when it wore out,
I didnt want to buy another one just because it fit. The Quasi is a good tire by all means but I dont like being trapped with no options, kinda...
dude, i hate you....just looking at it makes me grin...the lightweight profile that makes no hill too tough to climb, the enduro travel that tackles any terrain, the bling factor that makes any group ride look like your bike cost as much as everyone's put together, that stealthy dark frame that...
yeah u are right...will look into them. I'd have to get carbon fiber tho...its a mind thing...7005 aluminum lumping down the road makes my old teeth chatter...also it speeds up dementia due to the constant rattling to your head....didn't think being hatched in 1965 meant its AARP time, lol
That cannot be resolved.
I demoed a couple road bikes last weekend. One was even a carbon fiber. My back and ass said no way.
My ass said "I don't give a F@#% if you are $7,000 bucks, you are bone jarring"
My legs said "Oh c'mon, its sooo lightweight, you'll get used to it"
My shoulders said...
I'd run the Reynolds on the Pivot, the ENVE will look bad ass on the Knolly! Dang I could only dream.... *wake up*.....Pivot says by doing the conversion youll be losing only 12mm of travel 145 to 133 and if you have the Fox fork that can support both 26 and 650b, you're golden. In all its...
Some people ask me, "Hey why don't you just buy a 27.5, instead of just putting a 27.5 fork and wheel up front?"
I say: I already have a 27.5, but my 26ers' are as worthless as a flip phone. But I put money into them, so why not just hybrid them.
The front steering is better, it handles better...
