i think your jumping too fast at a chance for a bike pantelis. this bike really isnt that nice at all. after shipping everything out and when everything is done i think your going to end up losing money and the bike wouldnt even fit you. you should also get a bike with a single crown...trust me you dont want a double.
Yea a single crown would probably be better for you. No one needs a double crown fork when they are just starting out, you wouldn't even notice a difference.
that thing's a huck machine. youre gonna hurt yourself trying to downhill that. and its old... old huck bikes? yeah, not so much. sell your stuff and then see what you can buy thats newer (with less travel up front, that'll just flop around in the technical sections). good luck.
03 or 04 Kona Stinky 9, (Replaced with Stab) Direct mount stem. Brooklyn Machine Works. Shin burgers. Pedals Hayes 9 hydraulic brakes. Mavic 321 wheel, just below d-max, far as durability. Shimano xtr rear derailleur K9 bash guard Kona cranks Brand new 2.5 tire in the back, Kenda Nevegal, Front Tire 3.0 Aero Racing Prime White brand new. 9 inches travel in back, 12 in front. Seat: Stg and post is interlock. Rear suspension: fox vanilla rc Weighs 50 pounds. Small frame.
Dont get it, that fork is not meant to be on that frame so there could be bad cracks all over the frame. And I don't think that you are not even close to strong enough to throw around a 13 pound fork and 50 pound bike.
