I just got a brand new 2009 Kona Shonky today. I am planning on getting a purple Argyle 318 and some Juicy 3's. Tell me what you guys think. The bike is 29 pounds on the dot.

Thnx man it rides really nice so easy to manual a j-hop. Feels way better then any Kona hardtail I have ever ridden.

No if u look on the RockShox website in the description is says options and right beside it, it says purpletrator. If not beside options maybe beside colors.

Yah thnx and I am not sure weather or not to pur juicy 3's on it or bb7's. Im leaning towards the 3's. Or if possible maybe the lower model Elixir R's instead of the Cr's but i am not sure where the 3's or the Elixirs are better.

ive tried most brakes and all id recommend is hopes. so much more reliable than others.

Im not really comfortable with hopes because i haven't tried them, they are expensive, and they don't sell them anywhere where i live.

defo get 3's over bb7's. I use bb7 and there great, but juicy threes are even better.

Do juicy 3's have enough stopping power to do endos and nose manuals because i heard that bb7's are even stronger then most hydraulic brakes.
