They say 26 ain't dead, but there aren't many small-wheeled bikes that can cut it next to modern bikes with longer geometry.
Apart from the Kona Entourage that is – because this super-progressive shred sled™ has better geometry than a lot of major brands are offering on their current gravity bikes.
This large frame has great standover (same as the medium) combined with a reach of 460mm – which is the same as the 2016 XL Demo.
With offset bushings already fitted the head angle is about 64deg – making this a fantastic mini-DH bike and perfect for lots of UK trails.

When people say “this is the best one you'll find” I usually take it with a pinch of salt, but I do reckon this one will be hard to beat.
It's had a recent powdercoat and new bearings all round (two rides ago), the wheels are in superb condition – with tyres set up tubeless.
The rear mech has only seen one day's use, the shifter is relatively new, the cassette and chain are barely worn in, the chainset and chainguide have only had two rides.

It's not in brand new condition however, there are a couple of scrapes to the paintwork, a scratch on the bar and some marks on the chainset.
The fork was serviced when I got it and is still working superbly (three year intervals!) although the lowers are quite tatty. The shock feels OK to me and was apparently serviced this year, but I took the seller's word for that.

Why am I selling after two rides on it? I just haven't ended up riding it and it doesn't seem worth keeping for a few uplifts a year.
