is there a perfect bike/setup for kona?
with the exception, perhaps of jurgen's softride (which he would stay on for free, i think) and maybe natasha's cheetah (which see seems similarly enamoured of) the pros seem to be OK riding whatever they're paid to ride, provided it fits OK and can be at least semi tricked out. hell, the man did kona on a huffy.
BUT: over the years when "nearly there" pros without bike sponsorship have been able to take their picks, they usally end up on a hotta TT. these guys (larsen, reid) are usually sponsored by someone like nytro, who apparently know a thing or two choosing fast bikes for that course.
SO: cost (and corporate loyalties) no object, what would everyone be riding?
