Plans for my custom Kona Coiler with new frame front triangle. I was looking to modify my Coiler to new school geometry (longer and lower) and after comparing lots of brands with 160mm travel I found the Yeti SB66 (one of the best 26" bikes ever made) had similar geometry to my bike, but also had the two features I needed to copy : a longer front end and lower BB. The longer front would give me the room to use an inline seat post instead of a setback and get me more in the middle of the bike while seated. In the standing/descending position the low BB and longer wheelbase would give me more stability and confidence. I put my ideas to my steel frame maker friend at Manufactured by Grelck. He took on the project and produced the new front end in 4130 CrMo. Final figures: TT 23mm longer / BB 15mm lower than the standard Kona Coiler Med 2007. We lowered the BB more than the Yeti. It's in line with the new crop of bikes with a BB at around 340mm such as the Santa Cruz Nomad, GT Sanction, Transition Patrol, Orbea Rallon (low setting) etc.. I love the result - feels perfect.
