No idea. Figure I'll test ride over a few weeks. I've got lost of nearby bike shops, so plenty to test. And since I have started riding the Kona to work, I've got time to play.

I liked this mechanic a lot and I feel like I can bounce ideas off him and see what makes the most sense. He did comment something about it not necessarily being worth it financially to replace the fork.

So, let's say I decide that is the case - what would you all do with the bike? salvage parts? Clearly I'm barely able to stay upright on the bike, any mechanical aspects of it are foreign to me.
