Kona Unit, Small

I would be happy to take £500 collected from N17 for this.

I purchased this as a frameset in 2016 and built up for my wife with decent parts along the way.

It's been ridden on quite a bit, I reckon 5,000+km, however the SRAM Eagle NX 12-speed drivetrain is basically new. A lot of this mileage has been on a 5-month bike trip through the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan).

Having a 2-year old and the arrival of twins a few weeks ago has certainly shifted priorities, hence the reason I'm selling.

There are a lot of scuffs and marks to the frame, mainly from framebag rubbing. There is a small dent in the rear rim, but nothing significant.

Full component list:

Frameset: Kona Unit 2016, size Small. Drilled bosses on the bottom of the downtube to accommodate an extra bottle.
Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle NX 12-speed. Crank is an old Shimano Deore with new BB. Raceface 32t chainring.
Brakes: Avid BB7, Avid levers, compressionless housing. 180m rotors.
Cockpit: On One Mary bars, Ergon grips, some silver bits (inexpensive stem/seatpost). FSA Headset.
Wheels: Handbuilt Deore XT laced to polished silver Velocity Blunt rims (32h)

Everything is in great working order, I've serviced everything myself (down to regreasing and adjusting the hubs). Just showing signs of a long international bike tour!

Give me a shout with any questions.

Forgot to mention, tires are Terrene Chunk 29 x 2.3" set up tubeless.

Got any pictures of how it was setup for touring?

a 5-month bike trip through the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan) and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan).

Sounds incredible

Does this have rack mounts front and rear?

I don't see any but seems like the kind of frame that would have them?

Hopefully that gives an idea?

@mind_maze no rack mounts either end, she just used bikepacking bags to carry kit.

We used Blackburn outpost cargo cages jubilee clipped to the front forks, each one carrying a 5L Alpkit dry bag and 1L Zefal bottle.

That’s sweet! May I ask, how tall is your partner?

She's 5'7" and the bike fit really well

@amey
