Hate the bad spelling / typos / text speak but won't hold it against someone selling, but having had several bikes stolen over the years I'd hate to buy one.....

Thoughts anyone?

If I can read the appalling text they're saying not used off road but has a buckled wheel, small dent and plenty of chips to the paintwork. Roads must be bad around there.

I'm a fan of kona bikes but the forks could be shot, they've admitted one wheel needs truing and the parts aren't of the best quality. You'd easily spend a couple hundred getting it back to something you'd be really happy with and therefore is consider it is worth staying away from. Better stuff out there.

Not sure if it's stolen or not nothing to suggest it is, but gives plenty of indications that it's not well looked after.

Seems enough detail to possibly be genuine but they were pretty awful bikes. BB and back end very flexi on the one I had. Spend your money on a better quality hardtail if your after a cheap bike I'd say.

It's what, 7 or 8 years old. They're lying a bit but I doubt it's nicked

It's 10 years old, mate bought one new for about £800 in 2005 and it wasn't a great bike then, he didn't keep it long.
