Nice looking bike mate, only thing I would be tempted to change is the brakes. Apart from that, looks bang on man! Have a swing by and check out my new build Mongoose Tyax ^^

Hello, very nice spec on her :D, frame and shock especially. I still have some questions: what size is the frame, compared to your height (I have a 2007 16-inched Cinder Cone, but I fear it is a bit to small for me, and just wanted to know in comparison), and how wide are the tires on your bike (over 2.1?), thank you

Looks nice. I just ordered a 2009 Caldera so it's nice to see what other people are doing with them. I have to say I prefer the black frame to the green I'm getting. But I havn't seen mine in real life yet(I tested a Blast), might look OK.

Great bike, I have to admit that I have fork envy. I think the Revelation might just be the best fork for the money.

allyharp said on 5 April 2008
Nice bike, black never goes wrong and I see loads of upgrades! I'll give it a 10 to offset surlyginger's trolling ;)
My frame's the same but in a different colour and I've got the same forks too. How do you find it for climbing? Too often I find mine a little too light at the front. Been experimenting with lots of different stem & saddle positions recently though.
Kona_Ash replied... on 9 April 2008
Cheers bud! (Now vote me!) The Revelations make they bike way more precise and with the added U-Turn you can totaly tailor the ride to how you want. These are the forks the bike shldve come with not those stupid MZ's. I deffo look at upgrades such as the chainset, shifters & forks Im glad i did (although try and avoid RaceFace Bottom brackets as mine died after six weeks!!!) Get some pics up of yours and il vote ya.
Jamesnh replied... on 8 April 2008
nice bike! I've got the same, although far more stock. i'm just starting to look at upgrades, and have been looking at similar choices you've made. how do you find the ride now with the Revelations on? it's quite a bit more suspension, so i'm intrigued how much it changes the feel of the bike. on all accounts they are great forks tho, been looking at some for a while now
Kona_Ash replied... on 5 April 2008
Cheers bud!! Much appreciated! The forks are way better than the Marzocchi's that came with it! The Revelations are wicked since they been fixed under warranty and tuned especially for me. Ive experimented with a fair few stems but cant seem to settle on anything i like as much as the WTB that came with it!!!
