from Florence (Italy) Date Reviewed: December 13, 2006
Favorite Trail:
hard XC
Duration Product Used:
6 months
Price Paid:
$700.00
Purchased At:
Florence by bike
Strengths:
I bought only the frame with ammo and stem; very good and very well built; triple butted aluminium by Columbus is - imho - the answer!
Weaknesses:
a little too bobbing (more than Kikapu), but very comfortable
Similar Products Used:
Kona King Kikapu 2002
Bike Setup:
XT group - RS Duke XC U turn (63/108) - Mavic Crossride
Bottom Line:
I bought the frame for my son (15 years old) and have assembled the bike with parts of an older kona Kula and with a fork bought on e bay at a very little price; nonetheless the double trouble is very good, in every conditions, nearly an average all mountain (but weithing 27 lbs.)
