Big up Doddy still rocking the skills. Just a shame Neil has the "worst Kona ever made" (they say it themselves). And they need to read up on their heritage e.g. Peat was at Kona before GT, etc. etc. Still, it's a good giggle, not least the "it's just a dirt gravel bike" - take note manufacturers, you're not fooling anyone.

It was only the worst as the Suntour X1 group was shite, the rest was decent and didn't it share the Frame/Fork with the Cindercone that got the XCD group (amazing what a single step up gives you)?
I like the Yellow splatter a lot more than the CC's white, shame that Neil hasn't got the matching P2's (and forgot he'd replaced them too).
 
No way, I had a yellow splatter lava dome in 1991 that was the year before’s model And I thought it was great. Very chunky gear shift, can’t remember the group set but I liked it.
 
Is this RetroSpud's (Nick) Kirk (at 1.05mins) they show in this video about elevated chainstays???
