Sweeeeeet
Great colour scheme on this frame, some modern Kona's disappoint but this is a classy finish. Looks a functional build too.

Was wondering how you'd build it up, great to see the pics

The colours really nice on the frame, the red is a metallic colour, doesn't really show in the pics.

Enjoy it, great frame!

I love the colours too.

The red is so deep & metallic & the cream just looks a little bit classier than others.

These pictures are after 2 jet washes!!! It got totally minging at weekend.


It's just been thrown together at the moment with spare parts. I really like it Matt do I think I'll be trying to make it lighter by adding some decent kit.


Thanks
