Yes. Just a strange choice. Both are great forks, but the idylle has the same (arguably better) dampening performance for a Heck of a lot less weight.

Sweet bike though. Miss my gambler.

Twenty6 products for pedals. AND I would not touch a DVO boat anchor compared to BOS.

7/10 for the kona, I don't like the frame shape but apart from that it really nice, I like the coulors.

Hey Hey
6/10 - well, its a glory (as you mentioned) out of the box, no pedals, nothing "custom" or special. I just don´t feel like buying a bike out of the box but i guess it rides nice (also thought about buying a Glory frame some years ago) Smile
Hope you enjoy it!

Here we go - my K9 - some parts are about to get changed (brakes, cranks)

8/10 for the glory. Bike looks pretty awesome. And I'm digging the 27.5.

6.5/10 on the k9. Just don't like the look of it. Probably rides well. Just not a fan of its looks

I'd say 6/10 for the k9. Would be higher if it didn't have the elevated drivetrain pulley. Never could get use to how those look.

here's mine, 2015 Kona Precept 200:
Precept 200.

I have some lighter wheels on the way, I plan on putting a more aggressive tire up front and an air rear shock.

I love that kona so much! The orange chainring and pedals really look great to. What wheels and shock are you looking at?
