I know many of you are avid mountain bikers so I thought I'd ask.
A friend backed over my Kona Stinky a couple of weeks ago.
OK, so it was prone on the driveway, but you would think a bike would be RATHER visible against concrete. Apparently not. It's not totally totalled, but the swingarm's bent among other bits - so it's economically totalled. Being an idiot, I didn't have it separately insured, and the household insurance doesn't cover it. And I'd just put on a Super T fork too.
I don't ride much these days, but still, it's handy to have a nice bike.
So, what's a good replacement? I like something that can take a beating, full suspension of course - about 5-6" of rear travel, and it has to be a linkage design. Budget - about the same as the Stinky build ($3,500 - $4,000). I'm looking into various different bikes at the moment but I'd be interested in your recommendations.
