[Duff_Man]

This is me new ride it is wicked, just pissed i cant ride it with a broken hand thing, enjoy as it is the only one in the country that is built up.

If you wondering the wheels are a new mavic deetrac wheel, they are fukin sick and cheap.

[villy]

Edit- Dang thats really sweet. that d-trac wheel set is hot. and the boxes in the back ground are they the cowan ht frame or ds??

[MUGEN]

If this is the same as the howler then it wouldn't be the only one built in australia.

the cowan and the howler are different. look at the linkage, and the lower pivot. different placing and the angles are also different.

:eek: that is looks sweet as!!! what do u use it for? and where is the roller of ur chainguide? once again nice bike:cool:

[josh123]

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeet...been hangin out to see one! First bui;lt up one in Oz, i'm impressed. But gotta put rollers on that guide of yours

[Sam Gardner]

nice job mate looks the goods it would make an awsome slopestyle/dj/4x dualie

[wrongie]

Any chance of puting a spec list up mate?

That bike has given me new ideas. Thankyou for that. Sweet.

[Duff_Man]

I will be using this beats for mtnx, bmx, dj etc. i havent been able to fully ride it as i crashed at the tassie nationals and me arm is still in plaster and shit. there is no bottom roller as i had to modify the guide because of the pivot on the bb so the roller was too fuked to clear and shit, but getting a black mrp roller for it.

That is extremely good. That looks like the type of bike that walks out of your dreams.

Kona Pride all the way.

[tim_69]

mmmm that is alot of cowens in the background

[.:Alan:.]

Thats a bloody nice bike mate, How much were the Deetracks by the way?

[Wake Jake]

Sweet ride. Lovin' those new Deetraks!:eek:

:D

[Duff_Man]

not sure how much they will retail for at the moment but they are a good value wheel seet, runs the a 32 spoked version of the deemax hub with a new rim. so it is a sweet as wheel set, shame that it aint ust but. Ill find out what the retail value is and get back to you, we have a few pairs of them in stock at the moment and there will be a review of them out shortly in on of the aus mtb mags, so keep ya eyes open

[super_niko]

"its pretty good i guess"(napoleon dynamite)
heck yes thats wicked awesome man(oh drooooooooool)
lovely!! how heavy is it?
and hows it ride?
very hot!!!!

[tonka_202]

Hehehe Napoleon 'Wow u got like 3 feet of air that time'

[tonas]

mmmm that is alot of cowens in the background

I think if look you closely you'll find they're actually Kikapu models ;)
Nice bikes all the same though :)

I was obviously looking at wrong pic :( Your dead right, that is a damn lot of Cowans!

[Bodin]

Nice ride. This is the one single Kona model I would ever consider buying. Bottom bracket pivots really do it for me for some reason. Remember Rotec bikes?

If this is the same as the howler then it wouldn't be the only one built in australia.

I know someone has already made fun of this effort, but... what a farkin stupid post. If it was the same farkin bike it wouldn't have a different farkin name, then, would it?

[MTBWANNABE]

Soo jealous.

I REALLY want those deetrac's..

Any idea on a completely rough price estimate (seeing how deemax was $1k (i think) how much would these be?)

[Roly]

u lucky shit :D

i was really put out when i heard in my thread in the other forum thats its the only one, but its good to see it built up :)

ride that bike hard, m8.

[haz friend]

yeah that looks like such a fun bike for most stuff especially big dirt jumps n some 4x jumps hope you have a good time on it looks like a strong build

[cooper]

thats a pretty nice spec u got going there duffy

curious, why did u chose to got he cowan over the howler?

seems weird that Kona have speced a lightweight lockout airt shock on the DJ/abuse bike, but a coil shock ont he 4x specific howler

[blt2ride]

Nice ride! It looks like a great bike for 4X/DS, yet strong enough for some serious DJ sessions. BTW, I like the new color A LOT better than the old orange one...

[.:Easily:.]

that is a sick bike

u should be proud

[Duff_Man]

The Dee traks are $750rrp so order away boys, we have plenty in stock. I chose the ds over the holwer because the ds is the jump bike and the howler is the race bike. conflicting intrest between John Cowan and zFabien Barrell ment that the rear end linkage and shock settup ment for two different bikes.

cheers,

jack

[Ben_9]

man thats nice
