What Kona?? Is it new if so can I help?? I sell them and should be able to beat the price!! 
On the DH front yes they're awesome mate, I deal with Kona for that reason. Before I was a dealer most of my mates were all riding big and using them, round my area they're spot on.

I used to race a Kona Stinky Dee Lux. I snapped the rear drop-outs off it three times and cracked the head tube on it twice. Saying that, every time it broke they replaced the broken section for me, until one day, a brand new fram turned up that was the next seasons model. Was a great bike, and my setup was awsomeness 
Too bad some cunt nicked it

Mate had 5K's worth of Giant DH about ten years ago. It was lovely but so pricey and I couldn't ride it for toffee because it was so bloody short.

I have a Giant ATX 1, same as SVM mentions still a bloody competitive bike and I've yet to ride something I prefer really This is my 2nd one. I wouldn't buy new, get on southerndownhill.com get something nice for £1700, much better than the Kona which IMHO isn't really an out and out DH bike, depends what you want really..

Will £1,700 really get you a good DH bike?
