[Closed] Kona Blink from Merlin ......
Please talk me out of buying one .£570 delivered seems a steel (sorry ).Any idea about frame just plain gauge cromo i guess ,but still doesn't seem bad for the money .The decider is though i don't need another bike :evil:but would it be rude not to at that price ?
I'm in the same boat mate: I really feel the urge for a hardtail, as I don't have one at the moment. Very nearly got out the ole credit card on several occasions this morning.
mike thought you were in wales ?anyhoo that is a bit of a bargain for a bike that was supposed to be a grand !even allowing for kona being overpriced in the 1st place !even has bolt through forks !
No, ill this weekend so had to give it a miss :0(
I'm after a Rocky Mountain that's currently reduced. I've really missed not having a hardtail since I sold my Kona
RM ? perhaps you should check out the anniversary Blizzard thats just come out .Not cheap mind !What you got yer eye on then ?Sorry you missed the w/e .
Its the UK Special Project one
oldfart - Membereven has bolt through forks !
Nope. Says it does in the description but comes with QR Toras. Doesn't look that brilliant a deal to me tbh, unless it has to be steel, the Boardman Comp is cheaper and seems to have it beat as does the Voodoo Bokor
Well I did it: I bought one

it's a cracking deal if you ask me. I'm massively tempted myself. Let me know how you get on with it Mikey.
nice,very nice! 🙂
Price goes down to £539 if you're signed up for the newsletter 😉
That looks like a great bike, I'd be tempted myself if I wasn't building up an old Lava Dome at the moment.
pretty sure I saw one of those at llandegla today - twas very shiney 😉
I picked one up for £480 on Monday with the VIP discount. Looking forward to taking it to Llandegla at the weekend.
I've been looking at this too. Not been able to find any reviews for this, or the Buffer (next one up). I have found some reviews of the Steely (2011 model) which state that's 34lb, which is pretty hefty, even for a steel framed bike (it does have heftier Sun DH rims).
Think I'll wait until I can find a decent deal on a Saracen Kili Cromo 2.
Did any one get one of these?
Any reviews?
Got a mate looking for a bike and this fits the bill just can't find any reviews or opinions anywhere!
