A rare, high end Kona road bike for sale, that sadly is in need of a bit of TLC. Built up and used a fair amount, but has sat unused for several years. The frame is Dedaccia 16.5 Steel with Carbon stays. It is fitted with a Reynolds Ouzo Pro Carbon fork (steerer is carbon) worth a hundred quid or so on its own. 54cm with sloping geometry, 51cm c-t seattube and 54.6cm c-c toptube. I never quite got on with the geometry, I always felt an inch or two too short. Bought on here in 2016 as a frame only - apologies for not quite giving it the care it deserves! It lived indoors for many years but space became an issue and I pretty much stopped riding bikes.. DIng on the top tube from getting hit by a massive crosswind and going over the bars whilst having a sip of water..

and the thread I bought the frame on here - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/sold-2005-kona-deluxe-54cm-frameset.348261/
Tiagra groupset and Planet X Model B wheelset.
Will be fitted with a new chain and gear cables prior to sale, but could do with a general recommissioning and replacement of some rusty brake mounting bolts.
Happy to work with a courier to collect, and will consider boxing it up, or selling frame + forks only.
