Until they bring back the Smoke, Kona are dead to me. Dead.
Fuckin' A, it was basically a classic MTB with big slick tyres, I really loved mine as it's my first proper bike.
They replace the Smoke with a World (same bike, but 3 speed internal) but they killed that one off too.
Closet one would be the Kona Coco, why they didn't make a men version I have no idea, the 1x9 drivetrain make a lots of sense.

It was easily the best value OTP hybrid and I pointed a bunch of people to it over the years, but they killed it off. Bastards.
On a more positive note, the London Road frameset could be the solution to my 'cross frame problems. Zesty Lime, natch.
