    Anybody who doesn't appreciate the splender of any 94 Kona, expecially the Explosif, can now officially consider them selves educated!

    Oh that and the old Nickelt finished Orange P7s yeah baby!

    Unfortunately, I think mine would have to fall into "un-cool".
    Nice looking (imo) well specced bike, but let down by the name :(

    Yeah but Giant and Trek aren't 'cool' by any stretch of the imagination!

    Also, LOL at nearly everyone just posting their own bikes - none of which are actually cool (it's ok, I've already admitted mine would fall down towards the uncool side of things!)

    I suppose this is following top gear tradition quite well, most of the things we all think are cool are very uncool.

    Oh, Yeti 575 = Audi A6 = uncool

    I reckon Ti Inbred has to be up there. Cove Handjob's are cool. I'm inclined to think that no full susser is actually cool.

    Haha! Spot on though, especially about Trek's. Sorry, but add Marin to that list as well. :twisted:

    Maybe an Intense Tracer might sneak into the cool list as a full susser but only in Red.

    Already mentioned, I think the Cotic Soul is it in terms of cool though...

    Fixed that for you. Also they do two different reds.

    Someone say handjobs are cool? I agree funnily enough!

    I actually think many Cove's are cool - G Spot and Stiffee definitely are.

    Blur LT/4X & Hecklers are are pretty cool IMHO.

    Lapierres look fantastic as well and happen to be good at their jobs too.

    Old Patriots are cool in a built for a purpose and look it too way.

    Giants may be good but they arent cool, Treks are just off the scale uncool, Marins and Whytes have the wrong name to be cool as well.

    Spesh probably suffer from being the ford of bike manufacturing a bit - too mass produced to be cool - maybe the first big hit had a cache about it, the first SX Trail and early enduros.
    Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.

    Na, new Konas are pretty dorky! Although the '08 Hei Hei is a thing of beauty!

    Lets face it, there's something inherently uncool about mountain biking full stop and onyl people who actually do it think it's cool :lol:

    I was just scanning the bike radar archives and I was really struggling to find genuinely cool bikes.

    Look at this link, and tell me that isn't a cool bike 8)

    Although the coolest bikes around are always steel, single speed and with drop bars.
