Now debating to paint it or not...

looks like a carbonda fork

$300 premium for having someone to sue when you need to pay for dentures.

The QC sticker does have some Chinese on it tbf, so who knows.

Literally. Warranty will be easy and they came within 2 working days and I got them on trade.

Honestly worth it.

Thought exactly the same when I paid out for whisky forks

Yep, I considered getting Carbonda but don't think I would have ever been at ease riding them.

fwiw I've been riding the Carbondas for a couple months now, including some touring (drybags on fork legs) and I'm still alive. In general, they seem to be one of the more reputable d2c/oem brands out there.

Forgot to add this here.

This bike was a blast. Very short lived but still a blast.

Put the flat bar setup back on and also
a silver Thomson post to match the bars/cranks which I think looks better.

Suits me so much more like this than when it was 1x drop bar etc.

Also thinking of buying a bolt on track cog and turning it tracklocross for the lolz

Needs some new spacers but it kinda looks alright.

Made me realise how out of place the red stem looked! Still love it though

The orange stem; where is it

Waiting for me to change my mind again about what stem to run

Pls think of me

red stem was good in a virgil alboh sort of way imo,

this stem tho? v nice, in a sort of engineered garments sort of way

Which Kona did you buy?

it doesnt suit this bike at all!

Red stem will prevail

ffs I need that stem

FOR WHAT THO?????

Kona Wheelhouse , pretty ideal winter bike. Still hankering for a flat bar Groadie though

Any photos??

I've got some flat bar groadie goodness in the pipeline...

Never enough bikes

I really don’t need another 853 bike in my life but that has my attention....

Yeah I like that! Super nice colour x

Just adding these here.

Rode this 60 miles yesterday and its super comfy, however very hard work. gearing needs sorting out and its made me realise I need something a bit lighter and nippier.

This is my touring / commuter bike after all!!
