Kona Smoke, dunno the year but a bike that needed saving

[MCsanandreas]

Bought from a friend who used it as a ride to work bike and had no idea that cleaning a bike and giving it some looking after was a good idea.
Removed various rusty bolts and seized parts and it is a good little rider again.

I always rather fancied these -- having commuted for years on 26" MTBs with slicks, it seems like a good idea.

It rides the way all steel Kona's do even though it is a bit heavy. I enjoy the feel of these bikes.

Love it. My Kona Smoke was a work bike for a few years, now it is a transport bike.
