I have a kona caldera specked with full mix of deore lx and xt parts. Titec bars ,Hollow tech cranks mega 9 chain set hydro brakes xt rims mavic wheels etc. The problem is the frame has bloody snapped[:(]

I have a spare mongoose rockodile pro ald in xs size frame. The geometry is top tube 21.7inch--seat angle 73inch--head angle is 70inch. Now i know the kona is light years ahead but im skint and i need to ride. Heres my dilemma . Im 6.ft my caldera is 20'' frame the mongoose is xs frame. Apart from being the most pimped ald to hit the trails , would this bike be too small for me to ride, ie cramped up non efficiet and that seat ain't gonna rise



If my balls are going to be crushed squashed, better do it downhill rather than let a gang of hoodies kick them in

    Just out of interest, how old is the kona? and where did it snap? you may be able to get it replaced on warranty.

    Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.
