I agree, a splintered downtube would make me weep

I tested the same sized kona as you and i normally ride 19.5 trek, the post was at it's limit but it felt ok. The sizing is generally no different with big wheels so if you ride a 19 for 26" then start there for 29" and see how it feels

I'd take sell by date with a pinch of salt, they're sealed and not much in them that's gonna go off anytime soon

Inspiring documentary, yet saddening that people live in such contrast to western lifestyle for our benefit

we got married abroad – santorini to be precise. Saved a flippin fortune. You only end up with the people that really want to be there as they have to pay for a holiday. 22 guests in total. Wedding was at Sunset on the terraces of a winery overlooking the Caldera – then off to a hill top taverna. We then through a party when we came home for the people that didn't come out. think we spent about 5k all in.
