Why are they shit? The newer ones don't look the best, but the front section is the same design.Dont get a kona they are shit and the new ones look like cheap kmart bikes with fabian stickers on it. Barrett you said that you had one all season but didnt you crack the frame and have to get a warranty? Pug is a great rider but his really going to have to train now his on a kona
Mine hasn't cracked, and bike shops don't warranty, that would be up to Groupe Sportif.
i believe mine had a manufacturing defect Gloryman, bike shops don't make decisions on warranties, a representative of the importer will do this inspection, and if the frame has been use correctly and is still with in warranty and has a manufacturers defect eg (mine) the importer will honor the warranty.
When was the last time you saw a Glory anywhere near a podium - unless it was riding past of course.
He did say they are the best value, not the best bike, and I would agree with him on that point. That being said, I also agree with you how they are not often on WC podiums, but in the Nationals or State rounds over here you see them flat out towards the top end of the field.
its not the bike its the rider, a great rider can make any bike go and go well
thankyou for realising. any good quality rider can make any bike seem faster than others. rider quality is about one hundred times more important than bike/build quality. sure i agree that bikes can help, my new gkory has made me faster and i can do bigger things on it but if me and my mate swap bike (he has a trek trail bike) i'll still beat him down the hill. he has only ridden for 8-9 months and isn't super confidence. so stop arguing about which bike was on the podium cos if you put sam hill on a glory hed still be there so its the rider not the bike although ti can make a difference its a bout 90% rider and 10% bike.
Absolutely.
I was trying to make the point that the Kona isn't shit, it is all about what you feel comfortable on.
are you a total idoit? He didnt get those positions because his on a kona. They suck. That's why the top 10 pros in the world dont ride them. As for Tracy she said last night that she doesnt want to ride for kona next year and that she wants a new bike sponsor! Plus there are No very good riders in Victoria anyway.Does that say it all?
BTW, what is serious cash ... all of mine laughs at me as it runs out the door ...
You are a dick, Barel won two World Champs on a Kona, why? Because Fabian Barel is an excellent racer who rode a bike that suited him.
