i dont get it, call me an idiot but i dont understand why everybody hates this frame so much. i mean, other than being pretty ugly, what is wrong with it? how is it any different than a p. series frame or an stp frame?
i dont own one, so just to make it clear im not trying to defend myself. i just want to know, seriously, why does everybody hate this thing so much? konas are probably the most common bikes out there and everybody says they suck. name me one thing about this frame that makes it worse than a p2 or some shit (other than looks), seriously... i cant think of one myself.
It's the geometry. Kona's feel super strange compared to something like a P2. I find I can just get on a P2 and ride and it feels natural, whereas Kona's feel very awkward and off.
But it also feels natural for other people while the P2 feels very awkward and off. Now their full suspension downhill bikes have common breaking points in the headtube but still chatlife is correct, they are very common bikes, and a bike is a bike, a company like Kona doesn't produce bikes like huffy. Huffy produces junkyards on 2 wheels while Kona produces Bikes.
