I just got back from my first ride on my new Kona Unit 2-9... I freaking love this thing! Its my first hard tail, actually! lol... but it happens to also be my first 29er, and first single speed! I was getting s really good workout on the climbs, but we did alright!

I think it should be a mandatory rite of passage for all first time mountain bikers to have to ride a rigid forked, hard tail before they are allowed to move on to a full suspension rig. :biggrin:

Bike shop clerk: Hey, I see you're interested in that full suspension rig

client: Yeah, it's sweet!

Bike shop clerk: Okay, ya gotta license for this thing? Let's see yer wallet, son! :biggrin:

Anyway.......great to see you are enjoying the big wheels now! Sounds like you've been smitten! :cupidarrow:

This was my first year on the SS 29er and I must say it has opened up a whole new world in my riding. SO fun to corner and pass your geared friends on nasty climbs. Enjoy it and post some pics!!

its a 19".. But you have to realize that im a cheap ass when it comes to cameras and i still use kodak disposables and my camera phone... so, ill throw up a pic, but it'll prolly really bad.... I am in lust with this bike right now! I went down town to pay my water and electric bills and took my bike when i would normally just drive! i am def. riding a lot more now than before... I think im sold! :-)

Perhaps against the law if you reside in the land of the retards! Some of us value our face! I have broken my jaw once before and do no intend on it happening again! thanks for the concern though! :-)
