These are my mountain cycles. Got into riding about 2 years ago at the age of 12 with a 2004 kona stinky, since then I have been working hard and buying and selling things to get to where I am now. Mum and Dad haven't paid for any of these, but they take me to races so thats good enough for me. I know the specs arent great on all of them, but I know why everything is on there and I have good reasons for my choices. My bikes never break!
The old kona in all its glory;
I miss that bike so much, I would buy it back in a heartbeat...
Man, I have built sooo many 12" kids bikes to be able to pay or these haha.
