Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
Don't even think about asking which version of the switch infinity stanchions they are up to trying to eliminate squeaking under loaf, or whether it flexes so much that 2.25s will rub through the paint....

This has basic fork and shock, low end build on the rest, and my mate has ridden lots, incl off road basic stuff so it's pretty suitable for him and I'm not gonna make a grown ass 41 year old "earn his stripes" on a hardtail.

What sort of profession do you need to own a Kona? Sure do like a few in the catalogue.
I just got a 2011 Giant Reign for $500, seems like decent value for slightly above entry level. I can see how you could keep spending and make a $500 a $2000 bike quickly but lucky I'm broke, that's not an option. After a few thousand KMs and probably have to sell some other project I can still only see me spending up to 3k on something like a process.

I've always associated Kona with criminals, jobless ice fiends or stoners.

Kona need to make a bike called the Stoner, it's a long travel 29+ with very relaxed geo.

I'm happy to stick with the Kona Humuhumunukunukuapua'a as the most awesome bike name ever.

It should also have a air tight, x-ray proof stash box built into the frame so you can bring your own supply on trips.
Who buys Commencals?
Amusingly the biggest $ earning absolute animal on a enduro/DH bike I know rides a stock giant reign. Nothing to prove. Fast AF.

Current Giants are greatly under-rated IMO. They ride mint, and while you can still spend big money - you don't have to and you'll still get 95% percent of the performance. One mate has a base model 27.5" Trance and it's a ripper alrounder, another (more XC/trail focused) mate has a base model Trance 29er. Surprisingly different bikes, but love the supple suspension feel on both. The Reign must be really able to plow some chunk if its trail cousins are are anything to go off...

Have to agree. Giant have always done quite well overall. It is just the genericness of them that is the downside of the Camry bicycle,
You can easily spend a load more $$$ for less. Plus for many people Camry's are the schiznit anyhow.
