Right bike for ME!!

antlaff

have been commuting on a Focus Maleta for last year and have just bought Kona Haole 2009 - is this a wise move? commuute 70miles per week but looking too put a further 50-70 miles on a road bike ? alll you guys have bought a Focus cayo or Planet X carbon bikes (except the few CAAD9 DISCIPLES).Can anybody give a thumbs up to the Kona? RRP of £1650 bought for £915 on work scheme so will only end on paying approx £600-650 for a 105/ultergra steel bike!!! i want to get out and enjoy the bike at weekend - noy aspiring to win too many races yet?!?!?!?!

by the way - Hotukdeals had a freebie for a nike yellow tour de france short sleeve shirt that i got - would it be totally uncool to wear on a Sunday shunt??/

You can't complain about getting a £1650 bike for effectively £650.

You will be cool in your TDF yellow jersey.
...sub-zero, if that's all you plan to wear. :shock:

You've answered your own question with the thread title.

If it's the right bike for you, that's it.

It doesn't matter what others think, thats just their opinion.

Anyway, looks like you got a good deal 8)
