dont get spare cash that often with the wife and kids ( plus crappy job ) but i had bit of cash off family for xmas and i just won £170 on bingo ! ( i know sad in i )
so i got £250 to spend on my bike
its a 2005 kona dawg matic and rides sweet as but i feel it needs a face lift
so what would you replace on the bike with £250 ?

You linked to a 2004, but neither that or the 2005 match the partial spec you listed.

Personally I would get the suspension serviced and spend the remainder of the cash on some shiny bling to make the bike go faster. Red anodised bottle cage bolts will make you go twice as fast.

I just serviced the forks , new bushes etc .
Do people still use bottle cages ? :roll:
I've ordered new SRAM mechs and shifters as the old ones are a bit tired
Was thinking of some wheels but they would have to be second hand , currently have mavic xm117 rims on specialized front hub and a shimano rear hub , so something better but what ?
