and i wonder where all the other companies got there cromo frame idea awh yeah cause they were all so origional stop trying to make your self look like a know it all

if companies didn't copy other companies there wouldn't be very many bikes out there.

they could have at least trieddddddd to think of something of there own!its practically IDENTICAL!!

lol id consider kona smart black market=amzing konas first cromo frame its a good idea to copy

who cares, a shitload of steel hardtails look like that

id actually rather have the shonky

ziegle WHY? the black market has been proven time and timer again to be the best and well the shonky just hasnt

I like the Shonky too. Who cares if it's a Kona, it's a nice one.

have you noticed how all steel hardtail looks the same, its all about the geo and weight that makes a difference.

yer but they are practically THE same the kona even has the same piece of metal on the left chainstay near the dropouts and the same gusset at the headtube lol

so does dob...

they are way differnt ... when u ride one and then ride a mob u can feel it..and still its a KONA!!!! wlf

are you retarded? and yes that a serious question, take a seconde of your life and look really closely, at the brake gusset, on the mob its a machined out piece of flat steel, on the shonky ints a drilled out tube, and while were on the rear end, the shonky's dropouts are like half the size, also look at the seat stays, they are completly different, the mobs are ovalized, the shonky has completly round ones, and same can be said about the chain stays, as well the shonky has a dimple in its chain stay to allow for a bigger sprocket, you cant see it in this pic but the blk market one does not, i also see gyro tab holes in the mob, and there are not any on the shonky, yes the head tube gussets are the same shape, but o well, compare any high end frames with external head tub gussests there gonna be that shape, also theres the price issue, the mob cost a lot more then the shonky, so if kona were to make an exact copy thats a killer deal, i cant see anymore clear differances from this pic, but im sure there is more, who ever made this picture is an idiot plain and simple

well i'm not one to chirp much but i think blackmarket really just tried to copy bmx geo, and style so i guess kona just jumped on the chromo boat

STEVE!!!!!! help a brother out man!!wtf so what lol kona ripped BM

You know black market is made by S&M bikes, which IS a bmx company. Directed at stevethuerig

and im pretty sure the shonky was around longer than blk mrkt, so how could kona copy their design, so free629ride, youve officially joined the retard club

wow norcorulz u are dumb the shonky is a brand new frame from kona!

so it looks like YOU have officially joined the retard club
