All little parts to build the bike including headset and spacers
Fork was cut very reasonably it close to 7 inches and it will fit with some combination of included spacers. It very hard to turn fork dumper but it is fully functional, click in both direction expected number of steps. It came new like this and it was not worthy to send for warranty since I was able to easily turn it with some hand tools. At this point I will consider potential buyers, if any, from San Francisco Bay Area , this is where I live. Wheel obviously not included, not sure why it is showing. Thank you for looking.

Double Vision: Kona Release the New Hei Hei Carbon - Video
Hi Twallywilly . Maybe Trail is a little bit modern, but I do not see anything modern for Race. For Medium 590mm TT and 599mm stack. It is quite short and tall. Not too much room for cookpit adjustments, something similar to Niner 9 RKT but with a slacker HT.
Why thumbs down ? for stating facts ?, I actually want to upgrade my comment ,the geometry for Race for critical dimension such as TT and stack is identical as Niner 9 RKT. Reach is longer because of very steep SA. With shorter TT you can not put shorter steam. What is modern about that ? It looks more like traditional XC geometry with slacker HA , which is not necessarily undesirable thing. Anyway, HA, everybody want to slack more an more is not even that critical for the bike any more with adjustable angles headsets.
Bucket heads are told which bikes are cool and they follow and it is fine and whey they are confronted with facts they give thumbs because they are bucket heads. Essentially is nothing wrong with Kona it is probably very nice XC whip and if you can read between the lines it was probably introduced because of failed experiment of using Kona Trail for racing. So ,all this slack thing is not always the best. As Vernon stated , different horses for different courses.
