I have been given one, in blue. It’s in a bit of a sorry state as it lived outside for a while. Nice looking bike but I don’t like to ride it in its standard form (long stem, flat skinny bars) so want to make some changes.
Does anyone ride one? What have you changed if anything?
I have been told that it is Kona’s cross frame built up as a hybrid. Not sure how much truth is in this though.

So, 70mm stem and haven bars or go for drops?

Also want to sack the V brakes. Too much front brake for the skinny front tyre is the reason I have the bike as my mate shatered his elbow in an off. I would like to put canti’s on it to reduce the braking power, controversial I know. What do I need?
