2008 Kona Coilair, Large (19") with Upgrades

You're looking at a Large (19") 2008 Kona Coilair with a few choice upgrades. I haven't been able to ride the bike for the last two years because of school and a string of injuries, and it's sadly time for it to go. That said, I just finished completely overhauling it and I can't remember the last time it looked or rode this good. Each and every part has been broken down and re-greased/lubed/cleaned, and the wheels have been trued.

The bike climbs well for its weight, and is planted and confidence inspiring on the way down. The Magic Link system takes a bit of time to adjust, but once you have it dialed, it works just as intended, limiting the travel to 6" when the rider's weight is forward to climb, and adding an extra inch once the going gets steep and the rider's weight shifts into the backseat. Swapping the stock Marzocchi 55 fork for a Fox 36 Van, and the Hayes Stroker brakes for Elixirs (with 203 and 185 mm rotors instead of the stock 180's) has really brought the bike to life on descents, resulting in an overall stiffer, plusher, more controllable, and more fun bike.

Only damage to the bike is a somewhat long scratch in the paint along the top of the top tube, a minor scratch on the left stanchion of the fork (has been sanded and coated with clear nail polish, and so far has had no effect on the seal wear or fork performance), and the usual wear on the chainstay from chain slap.
