hee hee! I love new bike excitement. We all know exactly how you feel!

My advice: Go for Jake the Snake. It might mean cutting back on other expenses for a while, but it will nag at you if you don't get it... I bought my first bike in April and thought I was being very sensible by getting something affordable. By July I had sold it and bought a bike that cost 4 times as much! The Jake the Snake will keep you happier for longer and you will probably spend less in the long run because you won't be as tempted to make upgrades too soon!

Stay excited and keep us posted! I love both of those Kona's... Saw a Jake the Snake the other day in my neighborhood and it was beautiful.
