Info/thoughts on a Kona Dew Plus

[widowmaker]

I have bought a Kona Dew Plus on ebay and await its arrival

Its an Alloy Frame and Alloy Project 2 forks. Has anyone got one, ridden one and can shed some more light on it. I will post a picture later.

It has Avid Elixer 1 hydraulic brakes which I was told are the original spec, but cant seem to find a production year that fitted them :?

Any help appreciated

Have you got a picture from the ebay listing? Was the Dew plus introduced in 2008? The colour scheme would help pinpoint the year. I think they've used Tektro brakes over recent years.

What has led you to believe they were original spec? Not ruling out that they are because I'm no Kona expert, but having worked in a bike shop, bikes that sustained damage in storage went out with a variety of swapped out parts fitted to them to make them saleable, or parts were nicked for warranty claims on other bikes and then re-equipped with whatever we had. Sellers also claim all sorts of random things like the bush kit that I bought recently which is absolutely not the one listed on the packaging.
