Tumbling Down the Trail: Opinion
Constant pain from 3 plates and 20 screws in my leg until I get my my total kneed replacement in around 10 to 20 years time? Yes I regret "trying" downhill racing. Should have stuck to the normal "average Joe" riding that I was only ever average at best at.

Preview: Kona's 2015 Lineup
I could buy a 2013 Kona Operator for AU$2650 last time I looked. The Giant Glory 2 is AU$2899 RRP so even less after some bargaining. I like the look of the Precept but its still not cheap enough for an "entry level" DH bike. The Polygon Colossus DH1.0 is only AU$1998.
This new Kona will come in well above 3K RRP for us aussies....
As for 26" V's 27.5" I think you would need to be at world cup level before you noticed any real difference. Currently riding a SC Bronson and it does not feel any different to an 26" to me as far as agility is concerned.
More choice is always a good thing for consumers though, maybe not so good for the manufacturers...
