That's the single pivot model, right? If you were already bringing it up, cool, but it's not quite what I'm after to use as a 2nd 4x/jump/trail bike. What bucks were you looking? There may be others at Nerina who may be interested. Thanks

this time last year my girlfriend was in the exact same position. we bought her a 2003 Kona Dawg brand new. she's now upgrading to a more downhill bike and is selling the Dawg. all the details are on ebay at the moment. either have a look on ebay or pm me and i'll email you some pics. other than some scratches it's in perfect condition. its is a small size. we want to sell so get in quick if you're interested. i can sell it away from ebay if that suites you as i've advertised it elsewhere.

Cheers, Ruthless girl (you have no Ruth)....

nope, that i do not... although sometimes i've mistakenly called my bike ruthie as a joke - might that count?

hmmm otherwise what is ruth? If ruthless is without ruth then ruth might be like umm...

to be honest i dunno what ruth alone would be... They came up with the company name when trying to described a woman who's divorcing someone, not that that describes me literally but ya...

Ruthless is one of those words that gets stoooopider the more you think about and try to work it out..I doubt that 'Ruth' is in the dictionary. My money is on the biblical Ruth being a ball-buster. Feel free to research and get back to me on that one.....
PS... 'Ruthless' came up on the spell-checker, and simply says "having no ruth" as the dictionary definition..... WTF!!!!!... that helps a whole lot!
