I don't really want to trade (or sell) this bike, but I will go yet another whole season, now almost 57, and it will just hang on the wall all summer, work is too hard now, did I mention I was getting old, ridden to the moon by now in my bike riding life, not joking, I'm tired now, lol. I will trade for stuff like higher end stereo gear, guitars, amps, a cheap car (and cash from me possibly?), maybe a super nice computer (mine is a flaky dog), make an offer, but value for value, don't want a bunch of stuff, and straight money is fine. The frame is repaired, but not from a crash, I fell on it (ya, sad, I know), small crack from this, no displacement, no crashes or wet rides on this babied summer bike, 17+ lbs, new chain and brake pads come with (so will my repair support if needed down the road if you live near me, I totally rebuild this bike every other year when actually riding, will show you how, have all the tools), the entire drive train and shifters are very new, only second chain since casette and cranks replaced), immaculately maintained, just added a classic Easton carbon road bar, has leather Brooks tape, recently changed to some Kysrium Elite race wheels, only 1500+ grams, great all around wheel for bigger guys, bike fits 5' 10 - 6' 2", this bike is sorta modern, sorta vintage, but I will only let it go to someone who will ride it and take care of it like I have, otherwise I will just have to find an easier job and get back on it, lol. $1200 firm. TOL Dedacai frame, 1 kg, not underbuilt, but race light, bike still performs like any $4000+ new bike. Brian, please email!

I have moved back to BC, getting a bit old and am selling my one of a kind Kona Unit. If you live anywhere in Southern Ontario not near the escarpment this bike makes a perfect no-to-low maintenance commuter/utility/Uber Eats bike. I have impeccably maintained this bike and it should last decades more with the same care. The like-new cost of building this bike is $4000-5000. I am 6 feet, this is a 19 inch frame though and with the long seat post and/or a stem change can fit much less tall, and maybe up to 6' 3". Here is a highlight of the parts: Chris King Hubs and Headset, mint and recently serviced, OX Platinum Tubing, XT disks (one caliper replaced with lower end), Chorus Cranks, Easton Carbon Bar (one of the first), Thompson stem and seat post, Leather grips and Selle Italia Turbo (brown), Custom Fenders and a great basket (not on the bike right now). The drive train has all been recently replaced, ring, chain, and sprocket. The wheels were hand built by a renowned wheel builder in Van named Mark Bennett, Mavic rims. I have never had to true or tension either wheel and when this bike was newer it was ridden on the Shore (had an early Fox fork then, totally different set up). The parts in the photos may be older ones not on the bike anymore, the photo of the bike locked is the most current set up. Rides without making a sound (fender needs a new clamp though, so the fender flaps a bit now), unless you coast and then you hear the unmistakable sound of all those King indents as the pawls rain over them. There is minor cosmetic damage as for any bike this age. I will not sell this bike for part or to low ballers. I would rather not sell it at all then. My brother has the bike in Oakville. If you are serious I will connect you with him to see and test ride the bike. You have to be able to come see and/or pick it up, or my brother might be able to deliver it on his travels around the GTA. NO shipping, too many scams and hassles.
