Hey…I am not gonna flame ya..I think you will get enough of that in this thread…

I am 270ish and ride a Transition Dirtbag and it is rock solid. Get a pimpin parts spec on it and your good to go…and with the rest of the money…send it to me..becuase I am fat/old/and have to spend my money on my wife and kids rather than bikes…so it would really be apreciated. ;)

Oh, no, you said trust fund. Man you are probably gonna get seriously flamed.

I am a big guy too, and personally I have issues with RMX for heavier riders. It just doesn't seem burly to me. Just call it a personal opinion.

I think the VPS will get the job done, and should save you a lot of money, it should be ~1000 cheaper.

If you have to ride a on teh street more, the Switch is your best option.

Trust fund?

hmm kona stab deluxe could be ok. kona bikes are supposedly very strong, but i saw my friend snap his top tube in half when he went off of a 3 foot drop on his kona kids bike. i'm hoping that their quality is a little better than that, my friend only weighed about 100 lbs at the time. he now has a kona scrap hardtail and it is holding up well from what we can see, but we thought the kid's bike was holding up fine too. the tube on the kid's bike didn't break at a weld, it just snapped in half. the stab looks like it's burly though.

Seems like you dont understand english so I will try you at math.

Kona cowan + Monster T + 250lbs = Frame divded by 2.

Kona Cowan + Monster T = No warrenty. Only allowed a 5" fork on that frame.

For $4g's you can have my complete Banshee Scream w/888rc and my complete Banshee Scratch hardtail.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?
