Looking to buy a beginner bike.

debating between:
Kona Hahanna 2003

or

Kona Cinder cone 1997

Mainly a starter bike with the capability to to add on to it later on.

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks!

    Cinder Cone will have a much better frame. The Hahanna is basically gas pipe, the CC will have lighter butted tubing. I use an old Hahanna for commuting, and have an old Explosif for playing on.

    Saying that as both are old, it really depends on the parts and condition. And price.

    And what and where you want to ride.

    And why those two in particular.

    Edit, I suppose 2003 will be aluminium with basic bits and a rubbish fork. CC will have better, but totally outdated forks. Nice steel frame though.
