2016 KONA PROCESS 153 - Serviced, new parts, ready to go!

Hi there! Selling my Kona Process 153 as I scored a sweet deal on another bike that I couldn't pass up. The Process is super fun to ride - very playful and easy to whip around but still stable at high speeds and a very competent climber. Would make a great first bike for someone new to the Sea to Sky corridor or someone on looking to go from a trail style bike to a larger travel enduro bike.

In the past month I've had the following work done (the bike has not been ridden since these upgrades were completed):

- Fork given a full service by Fluid Function in Squamish (can provide paperwork)
- New FSA Sealed Headset installed by Cove Bikes
- New SRAM NX derailleur installed,
- New SRAM GX chain installed
- Shifting cable and housing all replaced
- Both front and back brakes bled
- New Ride Alpha handlebars installed (cut to 770mm, 27 degree rise - used for 2 rides)
- New Ride Alpha stem installed (used for 2 rides)
- New Ride Alpha lock-on grips
- Stock dropper upgraded to Fox Transfer (serviced last year, functioning great!)

Prior to that, within the past 12 months, the following upgrades were made:

- New rear wheel, hub and rotor installed (Formula/Shimano)
- RockShox Maxle Stealth rear axle (added March 2020 - stock quick release Maxle in 2016 was awful)
- OneUp Composite pedals (added mid 2019 - would prefer to keep but if its a deal breaker, I'll let them go)
- Bontrager Arvada Elite saddle (would prefer to keep, also have the stock saddle)
- Maxxis DHR II tires - 2.35" rear (60% life left)
- Maxxis DHF - 2.5" front (75% life left)
- Morsh Mud Guard (not pictured)
- Bottle cage on down tube (not pictured)

The bottom chainstays and downtube have been wrapped in 3M protective tape for the past couple of years but I've recently removed it as it was starting to look ratty. You'll also see there is shoe rub on the seatstays - this is very common on these bikes as the chainstays are short. If this bothers you, it could very easily be covered/protected.

For sizing reference, I'm 5'7 and a bit and weigh 140lbs and the fit is perfect. Price is open to reasonable negotiation. The bike is garaged in Lynn Valley but I work in East Van and can be accomodating if you'd like to see it. I'm also in Squamish regularly so that can be arranged as well. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any additional photos.


Cheers,
Mike
