Hi,
I'm after a bike that is a little more burly than my Avanti Torrent that will pedal up ok, but can handle going down rougher tracks. Can anybody recommend the Kona Cadabra? The 2013 is the model I'm looking at as its a bit slacker with air shock magic link.
My local is the You Yangs, as well as heading out to Wombat etc. I'm liking the look of the Kona Process http://www.konaworld.com/bike.cfm?content=process but without any low speed compression it might be overkill.
Budget is around $3500 to $4000. I've also been looking at NS Soda Air, Commencal Meta SX 2, Lapierre Spicy 316. I'm not really interested in a Trek, Spesh or Giant (had a few already).
I have searched the web, but was after some local riders input.
Cheers.
