Hey this is my plan to get a new bike. At the moment I have have a 2007 Diamondback XTS Moto. I am going to sell it for about $1700 dollars. I will then save money until my Birthday which is in May the 6th, If all goes right I will have about $1300 + $1700 from my bike = $3000.00. I will then buy a 2008 Kona Cowan for $1700 and a 2008 Yeti DJ frame which is $1300. I will swap the parts from the Cowan to the Yeti and then Sell the brand new Kona Cowan Frame. I will then have my dream dirt jumping/ 4x bike. If any one has any suggestions of a bike to buy instead of the 2008 Kona Cowan for $1700 or less which has a good spec please let me know.
thanks
Adam

it would be more expensive to custom build to get parts like dj 2's and I will easily sell the cowan frame i reckon. And it seems like allot of mucking around but i have 3 months to kill before m birthday so it will be a little project.
you will see when I post it under post your ride. I look forward to it

Yeah I think that idea sucks. It probly wont work out and instead of getting a cowan as a donor bike get a STP0 or pro. much better spec.

And if you wont a Dj/Street orientated bike dont get a yeti then.

Who said i was looking for a street bike and the yeti dj is designed for dirt jumping hense the name yeti DJ. I also asked if anyone new a bike which was $1700 or less and you mentioned the pro which is closer to $3000.

Im going to agree with revell on this, buying the stp 0(only because it's cheaper than the pro) and changing the frame later on is a much better idea. Find me one thing on the kona better than the stp0.

brakes. But I do get your point. Another reason for the Cowan is I am going to buy all of it off our local dealer and hopefully should get it a bit cheaper because I am spending $3000.

haha. dude. i love that idea. sounds fun looking forward to seeing the finished product. i dont really know the specs on the cowan but if you lik eit. just di it. after all the best bike is what you like and feel good on.

YYEEWWWW!!
That's a mighty fine plan.
Trickiest bit will be the saving of the money and the selling of the cowan frame I reckon. I had to lower my standards on a few of my buys in the past because of lack of funds which i thought I had.
Good luck with the whole project.

to me seems like a stupid idea, if you want to get everything cheaper buy off the net. you can get pikes around the 600 mark when i priced them in a store it was something like 1000. you just gotta spend you money smart. but if you end up with 3 grand, you could build a sick bike with that off the net!

Yeh I rang the dealer up today and for close to 3000 I am going to get a yeti dj frame and a yeti dj build kit. My other choice he offered me was a kona bass. prety hard choice.
