2014 Kona Process 111DL , the 29er with XX1 , Hope Hoops and other top notch components . Was £4 1/2 K , my mate bought his for £3K and loves it , Wiggle are now knocking them out for £2300 !!!! Unbelievable , retail was a bit optimistic but ... Medium available as well which is rare for close out .
That is a great price for an amazing bike !
Indeed Kimbers ! I've got the 134DL and I paid that thought I'd got a bargain ! Another fab bike BTW , even better now I've got some Hope hoops for it ! 🙂
Looks kak, saw it earlier on.
complete overpriced tat, may ride well but you'd have to pay me some serious wedge to ride that!!!!!!!!
Each to there own 😕
Just look at it though, gopping colour, gopping design, gopping spec for the money.
Process is a wonderful bike. Really quite good at that price.
I'm really tempted,I've got the 153 which love, a 111 would be ace!! I just really can't justify it !!
And hopeychindriac
I'm not sure what your problem with the spec is? Pro2s on flows, lev integra, xx1 etc !
I'm just saying, it might be worth it to some at sale price but could of built up a custom something real nice for the rrp on that hunk of junk.
Bit weird. The process is a well regarded frame and it's got quality bits on it. Whilst I agree that the RRP is/was on the high side, it looks great VFM at the wiggle price. Lifetime frame warranty too.

Were you here under a different name before or have you escaped from the Pinkbike comments section?
You come over a bit like a giddy teenager.

Go on then, tell us what you can build up from brand new components that's better for the money...
gopping spec for the money
as opposed to any new orange starting at 2.7k? Yes its not yt/canyon spec but its hardly pauper, the base model yes but not that version 😕
School holidays isn't it.
Same thing going on with Pistonheads - lots of threads about turbo'ing 1.2 Puntos popping up etc.
Ol' Davey boy, you are funny
Come on hopeych spec a better bike for £2300. We're all waiting.
the SIS caffeine gels are a bigger bargain

Lol, yes. Very much this 🙂
Not in the market for a 120mm agressive 29er FS right now (I already have a rather nice one thank you!), but if I were... That is a relative bargain, and I hear nothing but good things about these Processes!
I even quite like the colour, and about the only thing I'd change spec wise would be to swap the Revelation fork for something slightly stiffer like a Pike or an MRP Stage. Maybe would move the wheels on for something stiffer too, but they're gonna be very easy to sell being Hope Hoops!

In fairness, he did say it might be worth it to some at sale price, but he could have:
built up a custom something real nice for the [b]rrp[/b] on that hunk of junk
so for £4600 presumably, not £2300.....
Anyone got a Large they want to sell?
Fairly irrelevant to be commenting on the RRP of that bike when the thread is about the fact it's on sale...
I am also intrigued by what Hopeyless can come up with, as that looks pretty good value to me. Do even Canyon/YT do something with XX1 for that?
Stumpy,
I have just done that, built up something a hell of a lot nicer for same price albeit a different style of bike.
Gotta say Wiggle hit the nail on the head with their massive sale 😉
JUST NOT ON THAT KONA!

Yes, what a rubbish bike...

I built up something twice as good for half as much, honest, so I am even betterz!
Looks like someone paid their reviewers well then.
Don't get me wrong, all bikes are great nowadays but you gotta admit, it's a stinker and slightly overpriced in sale still.
isn't it past your bedtime now hopey? run along now.
Or maybe not.
(Edit: not aimed at the intervening post) 😆
Oh be quiet please hopeywhatever. Nobody gives a rat's ass what you think 😉

No, you really don't, and you repeatedly saying 'yeah, it's shit lol' isn't really conclusive proof. What is this bike which is so much better that you've built up? I'm guessing it's better coz it's got more gears and better spenshun?
I really can't see what so wrong with the bike. I don't really like the colour myself but it no worse than some others around today.
Get a grip man/boy it's just a bike, stop trying to be the mac daddy or sutin*!!
*yes I am down wid da kidz.........
Oh dear, the keyboard warriors/old timers/wasters have come out to play and they think every one should think their way.
Bloody dictators.

Totally agree, as long as a bike looks awesome then who cares if it rides well or not? I need a bike that looks as rad as I do for social media, not that pile of shit. I'm amazed Kona have any skilled sponsored riders at all, they should all die of embarrassment immediately.

Actually you're the one saying we've "gotta admit" that it looks rubbish. People are just asking you to back up what you've said. You'll forgive my cynicism. If it helps I've read virtually all of your posts since you appeared with a raised eyebrow. You sound 12.
Come on Hopey show us your wonder bike.........
He's the kinda person who runs SRAM chains on their singlespeed, you know, THOSE people..........
My money says he got banned from pinkbike for being too annoying.
Not quite njee20, but then again I certainly am not old like most you decrepid frequent posters.
Oh and I may partake in the classic posting up a pic of my new wonder build if you're lucky 😛
Let's just say it's not an atrocity that is a Trek top fuel 😉
His top fuel went ages ago
Your up early for you paper round kid
My bikes better than yours and if you say anything I'll get my dad to get you cos he was in the army so there!.
