I checked the kona site(duh shoulda gone there first)but they havent got the 2000 bikes there anymore 
But 2001 and 2002 the roast and chute look like the same frame but the chute has flasher components

Weight,shmaight,thats what I allways say!! 
My dh bike weighs 42pounds,but I weigh about 200 so it doesnt matter,and I think my hard tail is about 28-30,but once again it doesnt matter cos im not trying to win any xc races(and has anyone ever ridden on a set of sids,eeuucky!!!flexy,undamped,antiplush things)

Yeah Keiran i can't belive that Tom got that hardtail the day, nay the night before the Nelson round last year after he broke his other one and still beat me down the hill. Even if he didn have the home town advantage (oh that and a gazillion runs)
lil, oppps, tall lanky young freak!!!!!, that he is
