Up for sale is this beautiful rebuilt Kona Fire Mountain. Straight from the early days of Kona, this bike still has its beautiful custom paintjob. (And by custom I mean it looks like the paint dribbles are individually applied after the base coat and decals) I bought this bike as a frameset and have built it up from there. I've tried to return a lot of the original parts and look by using a Deore LX groupset with the Girvin Flexstem but have added a little bit of comfort with the swept back bars and faster rolling tyres. I've put about 40 miles on this bike to bed it in and it rides so smoothly. It's such a comfy ride.
