$2,400 doesn't really buy much these days.  A couple meals at L'Atelier or Le Bernadin, a .5 carat Asscher Diamond, 24 random rub and tugs in the Valley, no not that Valley.  Regardless, buying a decent descent bike for such is rare.  Enter the Kona CoilAir, seems to be a low cost fav.  Not that I really care about freeriding, seems kinda dumb to me, but here you go, don't say we don't write about bikes.  Here's someone who likes that bike via MTBR:

Over all, I love this thing. It can do everything pretty well, and rules at bike parks on 4x, slopestyle type stuff, north shore stunts, and extremely tech downhill single track. Kona also manages to spec great bikes for the price, so great value.

And some drawbacks:

The rear suspension is extremely linear. The choice is pretty much between plush absorption or pump it up stiffer than preffered to make big drops to flatter landings a bit better. Luckily the dhx 3.0 bottoms smoothly and the boost valve helps it to ramp up on high speed hits. ** the stock maxxis advantage tire on my bike rubs on the frame when it bottoms out. Stinks that kona didn't think to fix this, but a tire with a shorter casing will do the trick** Seat tube angle is a little slack for serious xc stuff, but moving the seat forward helps a bit.

Sushi is indeed a good thing.  Nothing like getting raw fish and paying a ton for it because it's crafted by master sushi chefs.  Little do you realize it's a Chi-knees dood carving up a slab from Costco.  True that.  Regardless, sushi is expensive for a reason, the cuts are supposedly fresh and perfectly cut, quality and skill are key here.  As an environmental issue, the sustainability of land animals will diminish and as many people turn to other sources of proteins - fish are a healthy and relatively cheap channel.  However, fish farms are known polluters, destroying estuaries and other close to shore placements with dense concentrations of feed and fish poo.  One could even argue the nutritional value of fish raised this way, for salmon, dye is often added to get the red colour.  Kona Blue Farms is an innovative way to farm fish.  The short - large net pens are floating in the ocean, offshore, fish are more vigourous, healthier, tastier.  That's the argument.  Huge investment, but seems to be working, read more here.

Kona Blue was founded in 2001 by Dr. Dale Sarver and Neil Anthony Sims, marine biologists and longtime Kona residents, who believed there was an opportunity for sustainably managed open ocean aquaculture of high-value, sushi-quality fish. After three years of research and development, Kona Blue received an investment infusion in 2004 from Thomas McCloskey, President and CEO of Cornerstone Holdings, in Aspen, Colorado, and other investors from the Mainland and Hawaii.

Kona Blue is now the first integrated hatchery and offshore fish farm in the country, an advantage the company will strengthen as it expands in Hawaii and beyond.

Instead of doing a shotgun approach, let's delve into types and segments here for a certain item, get granular as the parlance goes these days - today is bikes.  Let's start, shall we?  If you drink soy milk and you're not lactose intolerant; if you subscribe to dwell magazine; if you can give the three major points why the Kirkegaardian teological leap of faith fails apart within a(n) Hegelian construct, then the Strida is for you - the climb_ca choice, tho I'm positive he doesn't even know if the last point is even in English - the Strida is a statement that says you are trend-craved, systemically outspoken on social issues (while not really knowing any), and always feel it necessary to inject your moral crap into anything.

If you are a Chai type (but only fair trade); drive a Subaru Outback; have been to SE Asia and continue to wear your two bulls (Red Bull) baseball shirt; plus ... immediately think of Wuthering Heights when the name Heathcliff is uttered, then the Ellsworth Truth is for you.  The Truth exudes weekend warrior and luxury appreciation, but not over the top Sybaritic tastes like cashmere carpet for your Escalade, but showing a certain sensibility that your little tushie needs the dual.

Truth, be said, get it?  Zing, Truth*!  I've ridden an Ellsworth Truth and dayam, it is indeed a plush ride, tracking is superb on the back tire and the lockout stops the catepillar, however, it's expensive and still way heavier than a hardtail.  Plus, while I liked Wuthering Heights, I'm more of a Thomas Hardy dood myself.  And finally, if you owned a horse, before your truck, before your car, and now have a jet; if you wake up at 10 and go, 'bloody mary?  hmmm, tasty, but nah, it's late enough for bourbon;' and if you know that 71 is 69 with two fingers in the butt, then this Kona is for you.
