It only looks nice because it's dressed in all black, top notch matching components.

By the time the general rider gets one and slaps red anodized EVERYWHERE with white forks that were in the sale on Merlin it'll look crap.

Actually without the 'towel rail' ( 😆 ) , I'd be very interested in one as a long-distance/all dayer/light touring type bike. Any idea on price?

Looks like they copied Sheldon's Indy Fab

I Like that a lot, had a Humu once but never built it up as I hated canti brakes and sliding dropouts

Me likey, but I dread the price! 😯

So nearly bought a EOL Kona Humu 2015 from Wiggle around New Year, they were going at ~£375 (from ~£650 RRP) IIRC. Massive tyre clearance for 700x50C and above, swap the cable disc for hydraulic, consider upgrading fork to a carbong jobbie from Exotic...job done.

Sort of related, you could buy a Ti framed Pickenflick flat bar prototype today for a penny short of £1k! 😆
