anyone else think the geo looks very similar to a p. frame? low bb? thin cromo tubing. this thing looks like a used bike on pb that some noob put together.

That's probably why John Cowan, Paul Bass and lacedonguy are riding them!

yeah, but they dont ride these exact versions, they ride custom ones.

flag doxx (Aug 7, 2009 at 13:57)
I dont think they are that much different. the parts may be different but the frame itself and the geo is the same. And everyone is complaining about the frames not the parts because it's sure you wont have top of the line parts on a 1000$ bike. a top of the line wheel-set cost that.

If they are that different show me some picture to back it up.

it have ugly colors and that sprocket it's the most ugly thing on the bike :X
i yhink that they made a bad decision by doing this year shonky with suspension
i think that they should do a version with rigids and other with suspension
like shonky I and shonky II

I think that it was a good idea to put such seat on this bike, because this bike is targeted at beginners, so they can learn alot more with it, like barspins, suicide nohanders and such, good bike to start with! And I'm not a Kona fan, I had to wait 4 months for a new frame from crash replacement... because they've sent it to Spain instead of Poland ;S

It's about the frame guys.
You can chance every component, it still stays a Kona.
Ok, I don't like that seat position, but if the seat would be in a good position, it would be better!
Also, this isn't the High End Dirt bike from Kona! Remember that.
It's for beginners.
