Kona Manomano 1997

Re:

Congrats on the feature, that's very high praise and something you certainly deserve, and have for a long time. I immediately recognised your bikes when Kona posted the pics on Instagram.

It's only taken 8 years - or maybe four thousand times by four thousand times - but I've finally got this dialled in. Now sporting a 98/99 Kona DH stem (less rise and slightly longer than the Azonic but much shorter than the stock stem) and back on wider tyres, it's spot on. After riding hard-tails extensively, it was eye-opening getting back on her yesterday and today; she's a tank.

On anything pointing up it's a proper work-out but as soon as you hit a decent, it's smiles for miles :mrgreen: or more accurately, "moments" given how flat it is around here :LOL:

Cheers dude. It's as close to modern riding as I get: upright position, wide bars, heavy-weight...

...just needs bigger wheels, carbon and fewer gears :LOL:
