Default New Bike For My Son

I am getting a new bike for my son so he can go out downhilling with me. He has a bike now and it looks nice but the damn thing keeps breaking down.

So I am getting him a Kona Makena hardtail 20". He is just turning 10yrs old. He has been with me before, but the piece of crap Mongoose he has just does not cut it.

I can't wait to give it to him, but it is going to be a Christmas present so I will have to wait. Here is a link to it:

www.konaworld.com then click on 2005 bikes then click on Makena.

I think that he will love it and I can't wait to ride with him after he gets it!!!

sooo, i take it your sticking with kona..eh?

if you are, for a 10 yearold (around 5ft by now, i would think) 20" is wayy too big, i would get him a 17"...and he would still have lots of room to grow.

I'd just like to point out your slight mistake there FSRX. I do believe he meant 20" wheel not 20" frame. 20" wheel is a perfectly reasonble size for a 10 year old (obviously depending on the hieght)

Having said that, if i was that kid and my dad was buying me a bike I'd be wanting one of these http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=9384 It's a kids bike with 4 Bar Linkage full suspension. Specialised FSR 4 bar no less.
Coolest kids bike ever!

Well, my son has had a Kona Makena 20" and has ridden it and out grown it. Now he has a Kona Stuff 2-4. By the looks of it he will easily have a couple of years on this bike before he out grows it.

Here is a link to some pictures from our Ray's MTB Trip.

My son has rode the Kona Stuff 2-4 for a season now and the bike still rocks. At almost 12yrs old, he has been hitting jumps, tabletops, northshore and lot of gnarly downhill. My son and his Kona are starting to make the old duffers look bad!

It is so cool to go out and ride with him!

Red face 网站优化

网站优化是面对所有搜索引擎整个网站的全面优化。google优化公司我公司国内首家推出的规范网站优化,免除客户对单一优化词过度优化“搜索引擎封站”危险担心,google左侧优化以及网站优化关键词难于选择和网站优化效果的疑虑,通过整体网站优化质量提高,达到准确全面接触搜索客户,实现真正的网站推广效果。北京网站制作以前客户一个词优化到了各个搜索引擎的首页,北京网站制作为某个词优化投入不少,可是实际带来的客户效益并不明显。google左侧优化还有的客户为了一个词不能稳定实现和优化公司产生纠纷。网站整体规范优化,有效提供了企业追求客户实际效益、便于操作的网站推广方式。
搜索引擎排名首页是网络营销商家必争之地!稳定首页排名可以带来无限商机和利润!
