I'd much rather buy a Stanton - built in the UK with modern geometry.

Kona Operator for Sale / Trade
$550 GBPUp for sale / trade is my 2013 / 2013 Kona Operator DH Rig.
Selling due to simply not riding it and spending more time on the CX or Trail Bike. This is a used bike, so there are some minor paint chips and rub marks, but nothing that affects the bikes performance. This would make an ideal entry level rig for someone considering getting into DH, or a secondary rig for a seasoned rider - especially at this price!

Frame: Kona DH 7005 Aluminum 200mm Travel
Rear Shock: Fox VAN RC
Fork: Rock Shox Boxxer Race 200mm w/20mm TA
Crankarms: Gravity GAP
Pedals: Axonic DH
F/D: E*13 SRS Chain Guide
R/D: SRAM X-9
Shifters: SRAM X7 (RH only)
Brake Calipers: Avid Code R
Front Brake Rotor: Avid HS1 200mm
Rear Brake Rotor: Avid HS1 180mm
Brake Levers: Avid Code R
Handlebar: Easton Monkey Bars
Stem: Azonic
Seatpost: Kona DH
Grips: Renthal Super tacky
Saddle: WTB Speed V Sport
Front Hub: 20mm Formula Disc
Rear Hub: Formula Disc 12mm x 150mm
Front Tire: Muddy Mary Tubeless
Rear Tire: Muddy Mary Tubeless.
More photos will be available soon, or on request.
Trade desires! I'm totally open to a bike trade, and willing to add money to the right deal. Looking for a medium, aggressive Hardtail, something with travel between 140 - 160mm, preferably aluminum frame / steel. Not after BMXs, trials bikes, or DJ bikes. Open to most brands, so please feel free to contact me with any offers.

Those bikes look kinda generic, in so much as, it would be difficult to differentiate these from any similar spec'd bike. Do you or your mates have frame numbers? That way anyone looking at bikes similar to these has something specific to look for.

Norco Will Take 650b to Production - Range 650
I get the whole "range of wheel size" thing, companies want to basically sell more stuff, and by opening up the market by introducing new ranges (in this case wheel size) they open up a whole new avenue for profit generation. What really gets to me are the magazines, and to an extent, the companies that sell this stuff.....because whenever a new "format" comes out, it's suddenly "THE BEST BIKE THING EVA"......and they try to push it so far down your throat it hurts. Only yesterday I was reading the latest Dirt mag (no, not porn!) and they were reviewing the new Intense 29er Tracer, and the twat writing the review states at the end that "this bike took rock lines that would make some 26" DH bike cringe"....WTF?!? "some DH bikes" what's he refering to, a Halfords Carrera? If the media and the companies just said something along the lines of, here we have developed a trail bike for "blah" trail and it works best with 650B wheels, or 29er wheels, or 26" wheels, then I wouldn't mind so much, because it really is down to the rider to choose what he wants, but it's so easy to fall into the "marketing trap"........
