2015 Bikes

This frame is sub 1kg apparently.

Did you ever ride the original Unit? Cannot recommend enough, although I've heard a few grumbles about the dropout system.

Classic Kona fun and the only ss mtb I've really enjoyed.

This frame looks the same? Glad they're still making them.

If you mean the 2004 26'' one, then kind of. It was the same frame as my 04 Explosif, which was lovely to ride.

The dropouts have changed several times over the past decade ( with varying success ), but the latest ones have been used for about four years now. They look nice & solid and are the same ones as used on the Honzo.

These look great. The alu CX models have nice paintjobs but they are heavy as fuck

^^ I rode a fairly recent 29er.

Kona seem to make some really fun steel bikes.

That Trek monster is awesome.

touring ..

Cross racing then.

More like commuting .. lel

The whole head tube/fork crown area makes me feel sad

33 tyres and mudguards.

The single speed arkose sounds nice

?

what is that?

wank

Don't know? Don't understand. From Road.cc link ^^^

The new SS one doesn't have any photos.
That's the arkose 2 and it rides really nicely.
The 5 with the 1x11 SRAM sounds ace too.

Why is the front chainring so small?

For potential cross bike terrain scenarios innit.

Don't think anyone buying that will be riding cross!

Why not? It's a cross bike.

GT Meatball - "SRAM Automatix 2spd auto shifting coaster brake hub for that fixey look"

And no front brake? Anyone riding this is asking to be knocked off of it.
