Sharp. Did you consider a red hub for the rear to match the other red stuff you have on the bike. Overall, a looker.

 

[Harryburgundy]

I'm not keen on the red bits (I would have used green), but it's a lovely build...well done!

 

[SStumpjump]

Very nice! Almost looks the same as my Stumpjumper!

 

[Neil G]

Really like it

 

[s_zigmond]

I really like that!

Big urban tyres do tend to look spot on on rigid Konas...also good for s**t UK potholed roads as well

 

[DoctorRad]

Very nice street machine... fat slicks rock!

Terrific. Looks great and above all a great bike to ride. It must have cost you a bit in the end, but even so what would you have got for the same money in a new bike? Nothing that rode so well nor gave anything like the same pride of ownership, I would imagine.

My only regret is the lack of decals, as I think it would look even better. I thought your strategy was stealth and anti-theft, but with Cooks, XTR, Thomson etc that seems to have gone out of the window. So in the absence of a decal, it kind of looks as though it's called Fat Frank.

The colours would go well.....

I like it, but really because the tyres make it look so different, like a Kona Cruiser.

I always apreciate something different.
