'lavadomegazz' doesn't sound right, so try not to favour it too much...

Thanks for the complement Orangeretro, loving my purple bike
Mind you, your first love is always the sweetest and the clockwork is the perfect fusion of form and function (IMHO), so will always be my fav. no danger.
However I can now understand why there are so many kona devotee's on here, nice bikes to ride on the trails.

They're both great, but IMPO as rigid bikes go, my 95 C16R is (even) more fun than my 97 Lava Dome. And the frame is half a pound lighter.clockworkgazz":1ciuucjq said:Thanks for the complement Orangeretro, loving my purple bike

But the superb F7 fork is so short that swopping to suspension ruins the handling for many people. So overall I think the Konas are better as suspension bikes, especially the high-end ones, mainly because Orange dropped the Prestige before they got round to sorting their geometry for suspension.
Very nice Gaz mate
Makes me want to try rigid.......having strange thoughts about flogging the LTS (would never sell the RTS, she was flawless at MM, didnt even get the LTS out of the car :shock: )
PS: So thats where that bloody saddles gone...... :roll:

Funny that, never thought i'd part with my LTS but since riding my Clockwork (my first rigid steel bike), i've considered it.
Got an E3 on the way, that'll be rigid too
Nice looking Kona Gazz

i'll be seeing what household items i can flog
Clockwork will stay in one piece though
