KEEP THIS COLOR! PLEASE!

THIS.

SO MUCH.

The only thing you guys are stuffing up on is the bright colours.

Bold dark colours like the Operator have, the red and blue, completely destroy the lines on the bike, and look crap when muddy.

LEAVE THEM RAW!

Less = More

cyberhawk (Apr 28, 2011 at 1:29)

tom-cuthbert (Apr 28, 2011 at 1:42)

This isn't a Kona Operator... It's an 'Entourage' the 6.5 inch Travel Freeride/SS bike.

cyberhawk (Apr 28, 2011 at 1:46)

Front triangle looks like the Ellsworth FR 180. Not whining. It must be a good design if they are both using it.
