That's an affirmative...


... it is new bike Thursday! Woohoo! I got it more than half-built over lunch... installed my King headset (of course) and will finish it after work.

Maiden voyage is tonight. This bike is sweet... I love new bike days. Thanks Nate/Monkey Wrench and Joe Kona.

Pretty sweet ride. Does it have a carbon rear?

Good Luck

you should have seen the looks that bike got this morning when i walked into my office with it... it practically glows in the dark!

thanks cory. it rides super sweet. i took it through wilderness park last night, and am happy to report that the handling is awesome. kona's 'cross geometry is just dialed...

hey jay -- the frame is actually full aluminum. kona has just been running black rear-ends on the jake series for a couple of seasons now. imagine how bright that bike would be in full-orange!!

happy friday, y'all!

cheers,
mg

don't include me in the "fast" statement, i have sore legs just from watching the state road race from my couch at BO. i'm the slowest SS on a cross bike for sure. but at least i can count on being the slowest, so that's something.

slow as they come.
