I've rode a 1995 Koa(aluminium) for years,
heard countless times the "shopper" handling argument.
Ran it with a Psylo (125mm),
when all the fast ones in my club,
had been for years on disks breaks and dual suspensions,
few were those I couldn't match for speed downhill.
Tried singlespeeding with it, never looked back.
I've still got the steel 1" / edit sorry 1"1/8 / original fork,
and a steel On One non suspension corrected,
if interested.
