Also looking at the Kona Big Kahuna but it is £1100 for the same forks setup etc.

Courage

Hi,
my name is Ian. I am just trying to summon up enough courage and fitness to join you.

I am currently trying to lose weight and gain fitness by riding my hybrid Trek around Selby and York. Mainly road work but I want to progress to a MTB.
