2016 Kona Process 134 DL

If you want a bike that you can have fun with everywhere, yet also allows you to grow and progress as a rider, this is the ticket.

Everything on the bike was serviced following last season, including suspension, brakes, dropper, hubs, and was completely tore down, cleaned, re-greased, and rebuilt.

Featuring:

- An upgraded DVO Topaz shock: This bike deserves more than a Monarch.
- Rockshox Pike at 150mm.
- Angleset headset combined with a raised fork: Slackens out the front for a more capable bike while still preserving that legendary Process geometry.
- DT350 hubs with WTB Asym rims. And those fancy WT Maxxis tires.

Lots of new stuff:

- All new drivetrain parts last season: New XT derailleur, new XT shifter, new XT cassette (11-46), new RaceFace crankset. And a new bottom bracket about a week ago.
- The shock is new last season
- The wheels and hubs are new last season
- And how about the brakes? New last fall.
- Tires? Last fall.
- Pedals? Hah, plastic ones from the drawer. Don't ride on these pedals.

Caveats:

- It's a mountain bike and it has been ridden in the Canadian Rockies. So there are a few bumps and bruises. Though relatively few as the more tender bits have been covered in 3M since day 1.
- Small flat spot in the rear rim. Still runs tubeless fine.
- Rear tire has a repaired puncture. But that doesn't matter because I'll give you another rear tire.

Honestly, this is the most fun I've ever had on a bike. It's no wonder these are legendary bikes. I've ridden this thing everywhere from Nose Hill to Whistler and it has been a party every time.
