He's in the wrong price range for it.

okay, up to 1500, to 1700

Try the buy/sell section, I've seen a few sx trails in there for that. Try to find an enduro.

like I said, what kind of kona, i think I over exgagerated, maybe like 1200

If you really want a kona, and I won't advise getting one, look for a used howler or a coiler. New, get a hardtail.

now that you said 1500-1700. you can EASILY find a norco atomik, and sometimes an A-line if your lucky. but most of the stinky's (06, and 07) are $1900+ last time i checked. but the older ones (03,04,05) can be found for less.

I DO NOT want a hardtail, I dont care what it is.... I would really like a fully.

what is better, a howler, or a coiler, and how much would an older stab be?

I realize you don't want a hardtail, but you're gunna get on top of this bike that you want so badly, and realize it's crap.

The customer is always right, though. I'd prefer a coiler for all mountain, and howler if I were beating it more. I think the Howler is frame only, though look for a used one. The stab is hardly mulitpurpose.

I think you should try and take some appreciation from all the Pink Biker's giving you comments and opinions on bikes. it seems you kind of shove off all the opinions that they gave you. You are refuting against the people that are trying to help you.

no, most people will say they dont like them, but I just really like the designs, and components. If I had more money, of course I would go the route of say... Banshee, or Foes, etc. But I dont, and I happen to like kona

No, not at all, I thank everyone for helping, and once I get the fully I will be greatly apprecialtive.

^^^ no, like why not go for a used SX trail, best all around bike and it will have way better components than the stinky for a few hundred $$$ more.

Good luck.

thanks, I am not out to argue, or disaprove of peoples ideas. After all, John Cowan once said, once the wheels are turning, it dosent matter your skill level, the sport is about 2 things. 1.) the adrenaline, 2.) the fun
