I bought this bike in early October from Skagit Cycle in Burlington WA. Since then I've probably ridden it 15 times and about 75 miles. Everything is stock except the grips, which I upgraded to ODI lock on grips, and I switched out the e13 chainguide for a raceface 30T narrow wide (awesome). Of course it will come with the old chainring and e13 chainguide if you want it. It has some small signs of wear but nothing very noticeable and certainly nothing that affects performance. It shifts great, the fork is super stiff and plush, and it is just a ton of fun to ride on PacNW trails. Kona knows how to make a bike for this area. I'm selling it because I have multiple mountain bikes and need to free up cash. For those unfamiliar with the bike, check it out on Kona's website (this is the most current model) - the overall idea is that it is a hardtail long travel all mountain bike geared towards a more playful ride with a slack head angle and short chainstays. Super fun ride, needs a new owner! Thanks for looking.

This is a very nice frame from the UK. I bought it a few months back and have really enjoyed it, but I'm transitioning to road biking and wanting to free up funds that direction. Will come with a Cane Creek 40 headset. Attached are some photos of the bike, but I am selling the frame and headset only at this point. There are a few small chips in the paint from the occational rock contact (a few on the back right chainstay, and one on the top tube, none on the down tube), but it really looks new until closely inspected - you won't be dissappointed. Great frame, rare to find one this side of the Atlantic. Let me know if you're interested.
