@PB4UGO: So very sorry to hear those horrible words. We all tend to push it and have pushed it. But life is no joke and bad things can happen when we make the wrong choices. Know your limits before you send it.

Kona Bicycles' Parent Company Appoints New CFO, Intends to Sell Brand
Sad. I had the OG Kona lineup at my shop yearssss ago with the Joe Murray logo. They were a great machine and company to deal with. Never forget the first Ti HeiHei I built. No comment on “investors”. Best wishes to all the employees.

Why Did Bernard Kerr's Prototype Frame Break at Crankworx Rotorua?
I recall the same stuff happening with Vitus and Miyata bikes at my old shop 30+ years ago. They were high end, high spec rides back then and that carbon/glue/alloy connection was not a happy marriage for long. Of course materials, adhesives, preventative findings of dissimilar materials have been discovered or strengthened. But sorry every time I see carbon lugged bikes this is exactly what I expect to see. Horrors are hard to forget. Hopefully they will get the construction dialed in and most importantly glad that BK is alright.
