Here's what I'll be riding all summer. Will probably upgrade before the 2009 season starts:
Mine is basically identical except it has a bashguard. I'll be using it Diablo Freeride Park in NJ for freeride and possibly light DH. I want to pick up something for next season with 7+ inches in the rear. This rig is 6 in the front and back.
Thanks man. I love this frame. the frame and fork are 2001 models. i've got 2 other noleen forks in my basement. hard to find anymore. super stiff fork, and a little over 2 pounds. the other fork is a marzocchi jr. t. it's a plush ride too. i like the double crown on the downhill rigs better, a little bit stiffer. if you've never rode a k2 fs, you need to. air shocks front and rear. kona is a nice bike too man. i'm not a fan of the fox forks though, but that's just me. how long have you rode the kona?
Yooo, i remember back in the late 90's those noleen/girvin forks were SICK for XC. Are you talking about the elastomer stack ones, or the coils? I'massuming the fork on your razorback is the Jr. T. Heard a lot of good things about that fork and the Monster T but it looks like zoke's only dual crownfork these days is the 888.
I've been on the Kona since last september or so. Ridden it twice at lift-access parks, a few times around my neighborhood, and a few times at the mountainbike trails in NYC. There are actually articles in April's Mountain Bike Action and Mountain Bike Magazine about the trails at Highbridge Park in NYC.
There are a couple of other guys on NT that ride DH/FR actually. One of them owns a DH shop in Utah. His username is Nizate I think.

thanks for the info man. the noleens i have are not the elastomer or coils, mine are the noleen air shock. and the jr. t is on the KHS bike. the noleen is on my k2. very light stiff fork. noleens came stock with 80mm of travel, but you could take 2 spacers out of the fork, and have 100mm of travel at no cost and maybe 15 minutes. best fork in my opinion, because of the adjustability with air and less weight because of no oil or springs. if you do XC riding, find you a noleen.
the jr. t is a good fork too, for dh/fr riding. it's plush and stiff, and not too awful bad on weight. the 888 is a good fork too. but it's just my opinion about the double crown for dh riding. i've been around bikes all my life. actually built bmx frames a few years ago. built for kink, dk and a couple other companies. do you like the kona? i'm trying to find a jamis diablo frame for a reasonable price.
Ah ok. Whenever I hear "noleen" i always think of the Proflex 856 and the weird Girvin linkage fork with the elastomer stacks:
I guess that bike doesn't really say noleen anywhere on it. I must've gotten confused somewhere along the line.
That's awesome that you built frames. I met a guy at the DJs in NYC who was just starting his own framebuilding company. He got his "masterwelders" certification or whatever. My riding buddy's uncle is a professional welder, so I'm thinking maybe a few years from now I'll try anexperiment where I pick up a cracked high end DH frame and have him weld it back together.
I like the Kona, but to be honest, it's the first "real" mountain bike I've owned, and the first full suspension rig, so I don't haveanything to really compare it to. I've ridden an 08 spesh enduro sl, an iron horse sunday (briefly) and an 05 stinky dee-lux (briefly). I'm planningon riding at Diablo as close to every weekend as I can this summer so hopefully by the end of the season I'll be a more discerning customer. I spend a lotof time on MTBR these days just trying to learn stuff. For what it's worth, I've only heard good things about the Jamis Diablo. Very few things, butall of them good.

I'm looking to get a road bike this summer (used or new) and I have maximum $400 to spend.
I'm 6 feet tall and ~165lbs.
Someone school me on where to get a good entry level road bike and the size I should go for.
Thanks in advance.
