I walked into my LBS 2 weeks ago looking for a deal on a black 04 Kikapu and emerged a few days ago with a gold 06 Kikapu with every component upgraded sans the fork/headset (to come). I even blinged it with some gold LX levers. Tasty!

Maybe another 29er thread will make ya feel better, and help ya compensate for your "inadaquacies"?

That looks like a really fun bike for the trails.....nice purchase.

 

[greg447]

Thats a nice bike , did you ge to test out anyof the new sticky's?

 

[motomike]

how many Kona's do you have now? Didn't you want the 2006 stinky or something?

 

[douglas]

instead of upgrading a bunch of parts, why didnt you just get a deluxe or king ??

Just 2. I rode a small 06 Stinky the other day and it fell pretty nice, (despite being tiny for me) but it's hard for me to justify the purchase as my 04 is still in great shape, but as soon as the prices start dropping...

 

[bluebug32]

wow, very nice ride.

I'd rather do my own build. I usually just do it over a longer period though. And I liked the gold, since it's not real loud the the Santa Cruz gold.

Yea i actually cannot wait until the prices start dropng and seeing how i live up north all the bike shops usually sell snowboards also, so they try to get rid of them to make room for their vast quantities of snowboards, soo far its looking promising, there is a shop 1 mile away selling an 05 RMX for 1500.

Why does that Kik have a coil-over shock on it?

 

[douglas]

Why does that Kik have a coil-over shock on it?

cause its their lowest end model

It's weird, some of them ship with the Fox air, and some with the coil. I prefer the coil, and I saved a little dough.

 

[Trainwreck]

Way nice! You pick that up at Slippery Pig? You'll have to get that out and see if you can keep up with us old guys.

 

[McGRP01]

Yeah, but the Kikapu is a XC bike, you would think the low end model would have a Float R or another low end air shock...

We usually do an alternate WNR but I've been threatening to check theirs out one of these weeks- T100 is always a fun night ride.
