1999 Kona Pahoehoe 'Pipmeister' build thread

[W7Ford]

Nice to see Konas from four different decades in the same rack. If I'd know you were posting my order I might have hit you up for a free sticker . Tell your boss that your product placement has paid off and you need a raise.

Retro badges anyone?

Not totally retro jerseys but the Jake one is super cool

That’s the coilair - xtr, RF and almost box fresh

I nearly bought a bunch of badges and shizz when I saw them on Instagram a while back, but then remembered we were about to sign up to sell Kona. Is all the P&A available to any dealer? Did you guys get any of the rolling papers? They were controversial lol.

Lots been going on in the workshop!
a beautiful 2017 explosif in for a nut and bolt rebuild yesterday.

Finished building my own Kona Wo. We have stock of a few 2015 frame and forks in that are going cheap. Couldn’t resist.
A nice rebuild on a Dew and the Kula, pictured with my Pahohoe.
Also got loads of new stock! 2022 cinder cone, Lanai, Dew and Rove

The Wo is incredible. I’ve build it as a winter bike so I don’t trash my Process mud plugging it. But the Wo is just super fun. Took it on some trails and it is no slouch at all. Super quick, corners well. It’s not a heavy bike either. Climbs pretty good. I am racing this Sunday on my process then I think I’ll be out on the Fatbike for a while.
Cheap build really, got some good deals.
Raceface Ride Fat cranks. Standard hollow tech 2 BB (xt). Halo tundra wheels. Basic Kona stem, grips, seatpost, dmr oioi seat. Formula k24 brakes on 203mm Clark’s rotors. Might put a cheap external dropper on it.
got featured on Konas Instagram!

New stock! The lanai seems really cool as our entry mtb. And great colour on the Cinder. I call it a thin bike. Cos it’s like a mini version of my fatty

Chertsey is a long way from here, but if you've actually got COLD BEER in stock, then the lure of both beer and bikes might be strong enough... I do need to visit an uncle down Esher way....
Tell me that big sign doesn't lie...
