enigma Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I have decided to buy myself a 06 Kona Cindercone. Any got this bike or have any views of it. Im going for a bit of a smaller frame(16 inch) for more control.

enigma Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Well, as ive stated in my previous post, i am +- 170cm tall. I think a 16 or 17 should be fine.(can only get a 16) Here is the pic:
Mudsimus Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Not bad. You'll want to upgrade the fork soon. The jap marzocchis are not nice.
Mudsimus Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 But still way better than some other oem forks.
enigma Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 it will be my first bike, something to get me started. I am told Kona is the way to go....
AndreZA Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 it will be my first bike' date=' something to get me started. I am told Kona is the way to go.... [/quote'] No brand "is the way to go". Seeing that it's your first, rather get a good fit then a certain brand. If you are uncomfortable the sticker on the frame is not gonna make you to enjoy the sport. Look at Raleigh and Giant. They make 17" frames.
NotSoBigBen Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 I must agree that like with property (3 crucial elements I heard, location, location and location) that there 3 crucial elements to consider, size, size and size (also buy the best components you can afford!).
