Re:
Yes, it's very different . . . quite impressive weight though, considering it's not carbonium. I have a number of steel bikes in the stable but none that I'd be able to liberate.
Ok, thanks, I'll bear that in mind. Although if I had the makings of a Kona like that, I'd probably built it up and ride around on it myself! Kept nearly buying one back in the day, but never did. I suppose the Edge was a Dawes interpretation of the same deal, but in a fillet-brazed Reynolds style.
Yes the stheno rims were very strange, concave walls IIRC. My wife had the same bike at one time and her rims went on for ever - I, however, chewed through mine fairly quickly.
