I love the colour of that Kona 👍

When did Konas start costing 5.5k? The Magura rotors are great, I’ve had a set for a few months now.

That Kona’s colour is suh-weeeeeeet!

 

Welcome hoooooooome, weeeeeellll-come! Come on iiiiiiiin and cloooooooose the doooor! Not the earworm I was expecting on a sunny Friday afternoon in November…

And as she unpacked these (mahoosive) bags she remembered she’s quite scared of deep water.

The problem when paddle boarding isn’t deep water, it’s the reverse. Finding shallow water in a stream that should have been flooded by the tide and falling backwards off the board in front of crowds on the beach is part of the problem. Falling backwards off your board while being filmed by a MTBing friend who you’ve just spotted on the beach is also part of the problem. 😀

The Kona – lush colour, but one I feel I might tire of…?

I am looking forward to the megasack, having won a dose from it last year 🙂

Surly have some good ones:

• Subterranean Homesick Blue
• Champagne Supernova
• Chlorine Dream
• Peach Salmon Sundae
• Nose Drip Curry
• Bruised Ego Purple
• Dream Tangerine
• …

I think copper or bronze is the only anodised colour you can get away with on that process, they don’t half love a faux bar linkage at Kona.

When did Konas start costing 5.5k?

When did a Deore/SLX shod trail bike become £5k…

 

Once again Fresh Goods Friday does not disappoint. Well done everybody.

Ive been lusting after that Kona for a while, the colour is awesome

and its been on the UK Kona website at £4.5k for ages

and cheaper elsewhere too

not that Ive got 4k!

That Kona (well not the actual one in the pictures) sits in Greenrig Cycles and is utterly stunning in the flesh. It really is a very lovely thing to look at.

Mountain mint on an Orange and Industry blue on a Santa Cruz look very similar but only one has a nice name.

I do love pink bikes usually, but… nah.

Favorite color name is still ‚Trigger mom’s bathroom blue‘

Think it was OnOne in the 2000s.

Those Miura shoes are worth a grade they are so good.

Great shoes.
