I think its one of the better freeride bike out there. I carry them at my shop and we sell a few and everyone seems to like them. Check out the Iron horse Sunday, 7points or Cannondale Perp though. About the same price and sweet bikes!

Well, I'm about to drop Kona and Cannondale is my best seller...
I've just about dropped them the last 2 years and I don't know why I keep selling them.

Yeh, I dropped Rocky 2 years ago, looks like that was a good decision.

2005 Giant Rincon 19"
Stock :P

Nothing basic and nothing extreme, right in the middle. I usually bike on trails at the local parks, rocks/dirt/mud/jumps all and whenever I go out to DeepCreekLake.



I have bmx bikes too but I haven't rode them in forever. Some mongoose's, eastern's and we the people.

I BMX, kinda.

All of my money either goes into crawling, or my LandRover (Moneypit).

I bought my Mongoose Brawler for a tenner ('bout $20), replace the rear axle ('bout $15), and rode it into the ground. A spring in the front brake assembly broke, so I took the front brakes off. The crank locknut sheared it's thread, so I welded the whole thing shut.

Thing is, now the weld's broken, and the crank doesn't have any bearings left.

Might have to actually spend some money on it.
