A while back, I bought a very nice 1996 Kona Kula with a lot of help from forum member magas. The Rockshox Judys were however pretty much shot, and since I didn't plan on using the bike for trail riding I replaced them with a pair of steel Project 2 forks, approximately a few years older than the frame. I've modded the bike slightly here and there since then, but iI just can't seem to make it into a comfortable ride, even on flat surfaces it feels overly stiff and sluggish. Would this be a result of me just not agreeing with Kona's aluminum frames, or is the aluminum frame/steel forks-combo some major no-no that I've missed?
