    here're my kona's:-D

    *drools* so many nice kona's looks like your wall art could use a nice racelight seatpost on it before going up :) I found that I needed a very strong clamp on my post to stop my flite seat slipping where I sit so far back. the website's name is a word for musical tempo .pl :wink:

    here're my kona's:-D

    nice collection hannes, the sex one looks great, never saw one in anything other than full retro guise before :) it's good to see some people that like small frames.
