Mate you can still fit a King to it by getting the internal 'shims'.  You can get them from BETD or Chainreaction (i think) I have them on my Giant MTB and they work a treet! allowed me to fit my King to it.  the only thing is they're as tight as a fishes arse to fit!  >:(

You sure can't beat Kona for a hardtail MTB!  i've had quite afew over the years.........Nu Nu, Pahoe Pahoe and my fave (which my nephew still has) was my Polished roast frame.

Nice looking ride, although i'd have to have some suspension up front mate!   fully ridgid is a little too extreme for me!  I've moved on to 5 inches up front and up to 8 at the back now........it's amazing how fast you can throw it downhill with all that travel!   :D :daumenhoch:

have a day on the fullsusser then get back on a bmx,it's weird.

i've got a bighit 7" at the front and 8" at the rear,after a days racing downhill,i went to the works on the bmx and i nearly killed myself,on the bmx everything is so quick and twitchy and you haven't as far to fall so you can't ready yourself before you hit the ground.

Nice quad - cant wait to do mine!
Those grips rule - mongoose released a tyre called the mongoose Blur - just like the comp III, then did a grip too - remember them -- they ruled!
And as for mtb's - im building a hardtail Charge Duster titanium frame up into a complete as we speak!

i love these 90's quads :4_17_5:

the steep 75degree on my old one headtube was what pushed me to buy the laf, that is a verrrrrrrry long rear end though,
heres my old dog, ex-HUDU owned and ridden over some genuine MASSIVE trails without a peep or a crack! tough frame! ally but tough!
