ive been waiting for ages for my local bike shop to get the new kona 29er bikes in,but they keep telling me that kona have gone direct now,ive emailed kona and they say they are out to buy.anybody seen any in the uk for sale?most bike places say they have them but when you phone they say ring back next week.

The move from their uk distributor to diy distribution will no doubt leave a gap in supply. I know there is nothing in the uk that we’re interested in (ss 29er etc) Look beyond Kona. Salsa, surly, singular and probably others that don’t begin with S, like niner.

some one has a kahuna for sale in classifieds

Evans have a couple listed.

I’ve got a US made Unit for sale in a 19inch? SLX, middleburns, carbon bars – £450

Fenners had one for sale,think he just has the frame left.

Kona have stopped making the King Kahuna for 2011.

Shame as the spec and scandium frame are great.

I’ll be keeping my 2010 for a while yet.

Good luck on finding one, they ride well and don’t have wheel clearence issues like some other 29ers.

Wiggle have a good deal on the Kahuna.

charlie, I don’t quite understand what you mean by

I know there is nothing in the uk that we’re interested in

Does “interested in” mean “think are good” or “sell” or “have distribution of/for”?

Edit: I re-read (read properly): no stock of Konas in styles you specialise in?
