kona operator
get a new operator. a new bike comes with warranty and all that jazz. As much as i dont like kona, they came up with a steller price point on the operator.

Have you ridden one of the new Operators? i rode one in whistler bike park for 4 days last week and it was an awesome bike. it took braking bumps to town and was still very play full.

It cornered well, it jumped well, it was stable at high speed, it was stable in low speed tech sections, it was play full, it liked to get the back end out and style a bit, it soaked up the braking bumps very well, it liked to hold speed and charge through rough rooty sections. There was nothing wrong with the bike at all.
