I’m a road biker. I’ve by no means owned a mountain bike although I have thought about it..but haven’t followed thorough. While at my bike shop I saw this mountain bike..it was on sale for $550 and was hot pink with my name on it! From what I know this is a excellent brand, but I know nothing of mountain bikes. Is this a excellent beginner mountain bike? I’m seriously fixing to go for this!
Crap!! Here’s the link!

Well, I am not sure about the color, and since I have by no means heard of the Lisa brand bike, I am unsure.
That fee would be beginner level, which is all some of us ride. I don’t care for fancy suspension and all that, solid frame and excellent components from SRAM is all I need.
Edit:
Beyond doubt value the money. Kona is one of my favorite brands (if I was a lady would doubtless have celebrated they made a bike called Lisa!) Go for it and have fun.
Hi Lisa,
Wow, it is pink and it has your name on it! That bike was made for you! Kona makes fantastic bikes with fantastic components. For $550 I reflect that is a pretty slick deal. The bike has a nice fork, Hydraulic brakes and nice components especially since this will be your first mountain bike!
Go for it Lisa!

Nice bike, go for it!
…Although Kona also do Road bikes called Lisa as well:

^^ That is a fantastic bike – Ultergra components, FSA cranks and stem and bars and Mavic Ksyrium wheels, yum.
That’s a pretty sweet deal. I like the fact that it has Shimano components all around. You may get better shifting by switching to a shimano crank though.
Even though I’m not a girl, I like seeing feminine bikes like this one. Just since you like to ride doesn’t mean you can’t be a girl.
Keep it in the huge ring.
yea konas are sweet, the components are on the entry level side, but i by no means bought into the real expensive high end components anyway. i say that since your name was on it, its a sign – go for it!
Hey! Its a fantastic bike, and you’ll LOVE mountain biking!! Its wonderful. But I have a concern that you force not really agree with me on.
By having a pink bike like that, it instantly announces to any other drivers/cyclists that you are a woman, which is not automatically safe. Its like the cute college kid with “AMYSCAR” on her liscense plate. Its suggesting that she’s doubtless a cute young woman with personality and just instantly says who she is.
I don’t know if your’e able to follow me on this or not, or if you agree. I just rather to stay disguised a small more to be safer. Like I wear a grey helmet and a small bun, and I have a white bike. Hoep youi know, God bless!
LOL….too perfect. Yeah, it’s a fantastic beginner’s bike and that’s a very excellent fee on it. I’d jump on it. Like literally…jump on it and hit the trails!
It’s pretty decently spec’d….nice tires and a fantastic rear derailleur. You may not like those shifters, but you can switch those later if you want to. I’m glad to see they gave you a “normal” ISIS crank/bottom bracket, too….sometimes on the entry level bikes companies use a similar “powerspline” version which isn’t that fantastic and forces you to look for a special product. You won’t have any problems with any of that on this bike. Be sure to “burn in” the rotors on the disc brakes so that they’ll stop well.
And I’d see if you can smile and use both the hot pink color of the bike and the fact that your name is Lisa to work the salesman into a small money off. Can’t hurt to try.

Kona is an awesome company….not just the quality of their products, but the company itself. Even if their bikes weren’t so excellent, I’d very nearly still consider supporting them just since of all that they do. I reflect you could buy this bike and be proud of it on many levels. Excellent luck, delight in it!
