Couldn't agree more. Their completes aren't the best bang for your buck (really disappointed in some of the build specs these last few years, seems like hodgepodge of parts available for best bulk price to Kona each year, an SX derailleur on their "DL" build is a joke to me), but it's hard to beat the frame price for a budget build to compliment a full suspension bike. I'm currently on a '20 Big Honzo DL w/160mm Pike and -2 works headset and it gets used year-round on days the big bike stays home. I do hope to see the Big Honzo get an update since it's still on the older Honzo geo, and I do like the bigger tires on the hardtail.
