My Kona Kaboom - it's the second I've owned, the first being an 18" which was a touch too big. It's definitely the bike I ride most - especially in winter - being almost maintenance-free apart from chains and brake blocks. I've tried hard to put it in a jungle to match the graphics...

I've always wondered about singlespeeding my P7. It rides like a scalded cat and I bet yours is a bundle of laughs!

I think it really suits it - and it is great fun, one of the reasons I was happy to have it resprayed as it is definitely a keeper.

While the bike isn't a featherweight it really is quite light and it flies along. Short stem means its quite fun too, and with the new tyres it is so much more comfy.

Not much point adding this old beater as I’m probably voting for the P7 but…
