Kona Worldbike

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a new buzzing around town bike, and saw the 2010 Kona Worldbike:

It looks like just the sort of thing I'm after, and was wondering if any of you have any opinions about it?
What I want is an SS but hub gear compatible bike, 26" wheels, and with mounts for disks, racks, mudgaurds and room for nice fat slick tyres. In black…

Are there any other bikes that get nearish to that? I feel like I've been looking for ages, and most of the bikes I've found have 700c wheels, which I really don't want.

I'd really appreciate any opinions/ideas etc.
Thanks

I rather like it myself. Would make a nice pub bike type thing.

I wonder how it would do in the dirt 🙂

I liked the simplicity of it. I can't see if it has disk mounts though, which is something I'd really like.

worldbike is 315pound at singletrackbikes. Rather expensive no? Easy enough to get a budget rigid xc bike of classifieds and singlespeed it. Cheaper and you'll most probably end up with some nicer kit. and 3 speed hub gear? people still make them?
