After a few months with a 2013 Kona Cindercone, decided to go for a Kona Kula Watt for sale locally.
Took it out today, put it through its paces. Very very fast..actually a little too quick for my ability at the moment! Climbs very quick too, nice and easy to throw around. Few pics from today.
And with its older brother, another Kona Kula

The old Easton ones were super light, but didn't suit me, and very 'racey' in their setup.
I love the detail on the frame, the carbon weave is very good looking...hopefully it'll stay that way.
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
Did this with my last Kona (Cindercone) with a full strip down and rebuild for piece of mind.
Turns out the bottom bracket (BB30) wasnt in great shape...bearings had siezed onto the cranks.
Pics from the bike mech....
He had to make a makeshift puller to get one of he bearings off
Will make sure this kind of thing doesnt happen in my ownership.
but this'll keep me going nicely for a while I reckon
New 180mm disc up front, seems to have helped with stopping power
Will be keeping it for some time yet, sure a full suspension machine is probably the way forward for the kind of trail riding I do, but as far as I can see, I'm as fast as some of the guys I see on their 4 grand full suspension rigs.
A few pics over the past couple of months
And with new Maxxis High Rollers and new RaceFace Chester 740mm bar and 50mm stem
