    Well I know I said I was going to get a blur but something else came up. Now I have this. Kona Coilair Supreme... Could not pass up the deal. I know its more on the heavier side but it is good enough for me. :D

    IMO i wouldn't upgrade anything until it breaks, but mavic makes good wheelsets. If you are just starting out, personally i would leave your bike the way it is.

    Its not that bad. as cycling parts get light generally prices increase. I wouldn't worry about upgrading your bike right away (it'll make you a better rider).

    thanks for the info ...I started riding with a few coworkers who are insane and have very expensive bikes I actually picked this bike up from one of them for a killer deal (almost free) he bought it new last year for 700 and rode it like 5 times so i figure its a decent bike.

    no problem, have fun hitting the trails, the only thing that i will recommend you should do is to invest in some clipless pedals and shoes.

    I'd listen to Tony and stick with what you got and build skills and just ride, ride, ride which will lighten up the weight you're hauling around. If you're determined to shed bike weight and boost performance, wheels are your best bet. When considering wheels, the more weight you shed out along the periphery, the more benefit you'll get. This is further enhanced by going tubeless and looking at tire weights. Personally, I stay away from ultralight race stuff because I want to be sure stuff is durable. Also, many entry level bikes have heavy-ass forks.

    get that thing built man! I'm anxious to hear a report on the magic link. I remember reading about this susp setup when it first came out. It got great performance reviews, but did carry a slight weight penalty. Its a Kona so it'll be tuff!

    Yup, I have read alot into it before I bought it. Kona claims it climbs like a 6' but people say it doesnt climb like they claim it does. But they like the bike. I cant wait to put it together but I wont be able to ride it until next year that is for sure. Ahhh well I am sure I can find some places around Oceanside. But I am looking for the forks that will go on this bad boy. It comes with fox 36 talas rc2 from kona. Maybe I can find something close to it.
