Hi Guys,

I went to Switzerland on Holiday and went Mountain Biking. It was fantastic.

I would like to know what model I was riding. I don't have any pictures so I will only be able to describe it :

It was a Kona. It was Red + White + Black. It has contour line graphics on the frame. It had both a front and rear suspension.

The front suspension had Fifty Five on it and the Rear Suspension is Fox 2 (Or something similar)?

It has the magic link.

It has 8 (not exactly sure) gears on the right and 2 gears on the left. It has dual disk brakes.

The 15" frame model has a straight top tube on the frame but the sizes above have a curved top tube.

The brakes were the opposite way around to over here in the UK. Right = Rear Brake, Left = Front Brake

Any suggestions?

Thanks

James

This is the most similar looking bike I can find : http://reviews.mtbr....supreme-review/

    can't help you with the bike but the brakes being switched won't help your search. All euro bikes have the brakes 'the wrong way round' except mine which I have set up the UK way...which confuses bike shops and members of my club no end.

    Why not just call the bike hire place, they may just tell you?

    Sounds like Marzocchi 55 forks on the front.

    I could be wrong however...

    Bingo!!!

    Thanks a lot man. Very helpful of you! :wink:

    What do people think of them? The reason I ask is because I found it very good but as I have no experiance, it might be rubbish! :oops:

    Thanks again
