They also seemed to be overpriced for what you get.
I disagree that they are overpriced. Compare the specs of a 2008 Bighit, and a 2008 Stinky. IMO the stinky has better specs.
Which Big Hit, which Stinky?

Kona along with almost every other brand-name bike manufacturer are overpriced. Giant is easily the best bang for your buck that the industry has to offer. Look at the Glory DH at just over $5000 Canadian. Similar bikes by other companies speced with the same high-end components are well above $6000 with some retailing closer or over $7000!
i damn near shit a brick when i saw the norco team downhill who in there right mind is going to pay 7200 for a bike i know i wouldnt but hey im only 15 maybe im just stupid

Giant is easily the best bang for your buck, but still way more expensive than it should be, along with every other bike company in the industry.
