Got this beauty yesterday, This pic is from it's first run out. I'd just got it out the box and put it together an hour before the pic was taken.
I've changed the peddles I didn't like the clip peddles, I have ordered some Kona Jackshit.
Also I have changed the tyres to ADvantage Maxxipro 60a 2.4 which I took off another. I don't know what the difference is between them and the ones that came with the bike (as they were aldo ADvantage's) The others just looked better!.
I'm going to add another chain ring to up the gears to 27.
I've taken the light off now (this was taken before a night ride).
I have played round with the front and reas suspension and got it nice, & raised the seat post a little. It feels great to ride now. I hope to get some footage of it up shortly.
Can any one suggest any upgrades?.

10 for innovative suspension design, kona need to beef up the back of that bike a bit though
upgrades: SRAM gearing (X7/X9/X0), Hammershcmidt or Shiftguide front gearing, Fox DHX Air rear shock, Fox 36 Float forks or Rockshox Lyrics, Sun ADD Lite wheelset, shorter stem of some sorts, and some softer compound tyres, thats what Id do anyway :P

its nice, i wouldnt get kona pedals personally i think they are not all that good.
black crank arms would look good too.
