$175.00 | | Purchased At: | pawn shop | | Strengths: | Geometry perfect. Top tube not too long--always a problem with Redline cruisers and any old school Kona, Iron Horse, etc. mountain bike. Sealed wheels kick ass. Steel frame little heavy only because I weigh under 125 lbs. (No production bike can be too light for me, but who's got 2 G's to spend?) | | Weaknesses: | none | | Similar Products Used: | PK Ripper. Definitely lighter but seat tube is too short on the PK model, unless you are racing or jumping. | | Bike Setup: | 100% stock. | | Bottom Line: | Cassette hub micro cogs and smaller chain ring size are ideal for 20 inch models, but the extra leverage and pedaling momentum from the Kona two-four's stock 41T X 18T single speed setup are better on both the Kona two-four (and a PK which I modified last year.) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 10, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Burdette Park - Evansville | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Summit City Bicycles (Brian's Bike) | | Strengths: | Geometry, wheelset, balance, odds are you'll be the only one at the track or trails with one | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | GT ProSeries 24 | | Bike Setup: | Sinister Prolite forks, Sun BFR's Ti spokes Kovachi hubs, Paul Motolite brake, Atomlab Aircorp pedals | | Bottom Line: | All my years riding were wasted until this bike - it is that much fun to ride. It feels great in the air, great on its rear wheel, just great all around. When researching a new bike I found Kona's site annoying - geometry was listed as "just right", but you know what? It is "just right". Although I'm happy with my upgraded wheels the stock wheelset is great. I didn't realize how good until they were gone. The bottom line is get one and go ride you won't regret it! Kona snapped the gate and hole shotted with this one. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
