2012 Kona Tanuki - small - MUST GO

Selling my great little Kona Tanuki.

I bought it for my now ex-girlfriend, to get her into trail centre riding, but it wasn't to be. The bike's been ridden ~10 times and has been sat unused in the garage for the last 18 months, so is in excellent condition.

Suspension works really nicely, with a 130mm Rockshox Tora air fork (with lockout and rebound adjustment) and Kona's own rear air shock (with lockout and rebound adjustment) also delivering 130mm of rear wheel travel. Full spec is listed below.

If I remember correctly, it cost £1,099 when bought from Evans.

Open to sensible offers. Please drop me a line with any questions.

Many thanks,

Tom


In Japanese folklore, the Tanuki has eight special traits: a hat to protect against bad weather; big eyes to make good decisions; a sake bottle to represent virtue; a big tail for steadiness and strength; gargantuan testicles for obvious reasons; cash for confidence; a big belly to symbolize decisiveness; and a friendly smile. Everything you need for the Kona Tanuki 2012 Mountain Bike – one of the sweetest bang-for-your-buck dual-suspension mountain bikes in creation.
