yeah bollmv that is not a manufacture's defect. look at the seat and because the top tube is bent and not cracked means that this person doesn't know how to ride a bike. they prolly nosed it real hard, or stacked to flat hella bad. kona is a good company, its just that most of the kids that ride 'em don't know how to treat a bike
ya i know, i gotta say, kona's are actually really smooth and nice to ride, i was just going with the flow there...
the only maybe overpriced kona would be the stinky air. and that's just cause it's $6000. you do get an amazing spec though and an amazing bike for that money though. not overpriced
pake i have at the moment a kona stuff decent dont like it much but it work and my judge ment is bast on a educated gess because kona has the most broken frames iv seen and i have riden an 08 stinky so wat do u have to say now
i think you should learn to write properly. also, a simple hardtail like a stuff can't compare to a stinky that has linkage and a rear shock. but if you read my longer comment above, i explain how this is not kona's fault and there fore not a manufacturer defect. a lot of people blame kona for broken bikes, when usually it's the people that don't know how to ride/take care of them
Look at this pi. Now im pritty sure a pro know how to ride a take care of a bike

the search results for broken bikes. kona aint the only brand that has their shit broken. i've seen a sx trail with the patented "cobra" headtube design broken. it's just a matter of being unlucky

As you can see here, loads and loads of bikes break! Not just Kona's. I'm pretty sure more or less every bike in production has suffered breakages! You may see more broken konas than you do other bikes, maybe its because you're ignoring the others when you see them, or maybe its because a lot of people buy them and so increasing the probability that one will break

Yes you may have seen "much snapped kona" but i already explained why ^
there are probably more kona bikes than there are any other mountain manufacturer bikes! Lots of people buy konas because of their wide product base, they are well marketed and well tested, and if you ask me, are very well priced!

oh smart ass, i was actually talking about recent bikes, that stab is like 2001/2002. This sort of thing will happen to any bike if you front end it at a high enough speed, aluminium is not capable of taking that much stress, no matter how well it is made/welded/put together!
I thought I'd post this just because for those who'd be interested. The History channel did a little segment on "frames" in Modern Marvels, it's cool and informative I think. Has FOES and Specialized.

did he hit a bus or summat? and have the forks and front wheel bin changed after the crash ???? doubt they wud still be in tact if that much damage has been done to the frame
any bad nose case with do that to a bike...it will either f*ck up the forks...or bend the frame like that..
