cool thanks, i really appreciate it.. i like frames that are maybe on the tad smaller side (from what im recommended). and i was told at 5'11" i was right in between the medium and large. so i opted for the medium, kinda hard not having any LBS that stocks kona (to sit on), but thats okay, i did as much research as i could and asked around on the net... btw love animal bmx and miss those dayz!
9nine9, those TRs have REALLY grown on me, love that color with the deemax wheels!

I'm 5'11" and ride a medium Operator. I like the size.
The reach on the Operators are on a longer side for given size, so the cockpit of the medium Operator is as long as most larges, or even some extra larges (like Evil, Pivot etc.)

My oldie SX hybrid*, AM mode..
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/9464013/
*With mix'n'match longer lower enduro chainstay, shorter shock tower and 2.25" stroke dhx air, it's SLACK
(65deg HA, 335mm BB, 1125mm WB) and feels stable during steep descent.
Also the 'short' SX toptube is between my previous S and M sxtrails... feels just right for me (174 cm height)
The only drawback is the short and slack SA (same as HA in SX) but with stealth reverb and slightly forward saddle position, it's okay (about 72deg SA C-C) - and 1x10 drivetrain with 32T front to keep up with my friends during ascents..
This is my 'temporaryears' bike before the next 'standard' with 650B etc becomes mainstream.
Cheers!

great, thanks! i had researched the hell out of it and it and called a kona dealer a couple of hours away and had recomended me a medium.
although i did not know they run a little larger.. good to know. my frame looks super small, but there are no parts on it, so it makes sense.
After many years of faithful service, the Katipo has been retired and will be replaced by this....
Now i just need a decent camera

Where did you get the Alfine mud cover?
Made it out of some scrap carbon i found at work. Its held on with velcro so i can pull it off easily

Good effort. Formula do a matchmaker if you wanted the one mount.My rig for the 2013 a full custom build,weights 17,50kg
Canfield must have a deal with the devil.. it blew me away how well this thing pedals and descends, it's like having a 5" bike to climb and a 8" to descend.

super nice Canfield "The One"!

Here's my rig. I've actually had it since last year, but I held off posting photos for fear of causing DirtMcGirk's head to explode.

You ridden DH anywhere around here yet?
finally finished it!!!
check the vital bike check for the full parts list and a few more photos - http://www.vitalmtb.com/community/chup29,613/setup,21396
36 pounds on the dot with my winter tires and heavy tubes, front fender, 2 swingarm fenders and the shock mudflap - will probably have it down to 34 with my summer setup when im less worried about snow and mud getting in the bearings

I'm playing with a fairly strict budget on this one as I'm doing air ride on my Passat and new wheels and bought that ktm. I'm able to et the fork for shop cost and I can't touch anything Not beat for that price. Plus I figured I could buy the evo cart later on down the road if this thing doesn't perform.
I haven't really had a chance to ride yet. Rode once but nothing much.

I think my 2013 shock is bent, bought a Manipoo Swinger 4 way as a spare and gave up on waiting for Bos bits so it has been the only shock I have been using. Something is making an awful noise when the bike bottoms out and my direct mount stem points in a different direction to my wheel, I sense a new bike coming late 2013, mine seems to have gone to **** after I put the Huffy stickers on it
All this carbon is giving me a soft-on.
Approx weight 3 cubits and a span. Bought from Noah for 2 asses and a virgin.

What size of the frame is this?finally finished it!!!
its the new large carbon size - fits pretty amazing, very similar to a large m9 i used to ride which i thought felt pretty much like a big medium
very nice jedy!
