Canadian dollar will screw with this…but…yes. Close to it, anyhow. Giant Reign
has a really good spec near to this price, albeit a bit over. And the Kona
Precept I tested was awesome, save for brakes and fork. Swap rotors and pads
in and do something with the fork and I think you could have a pretty bad ass
bike for $2500. Or so. It's pushing it, but there are some real bikes around
this price level.
What would be interesting is to actually hear from one of the tuners to see if
there is anything to be done to these forks for a reasonable amount of money.
I was thinking about that as I finalized last night, but didn't really have
the time to dig into it.
