EBay gods have smiled upon me and handed me this little ripper for the princely sum of £30! I have two kids, but even the eldest is 2 years away from being big enough to ride this - so I can take my time

I’m a big kona fan, I plan to completely replace and upgrade every part. Cool as it is, it is also infeasibly heavy. I suspect the cranks and wheels are the biggest anchors ..

I did see one of these sporting SRAM red components somewhere on the web… I certainly won’t be going that far…

Oh that's a great looking frame! 24" is a great size which can be used a long time

Nice! My son has a blue one - a similar deal on ebay at Christmas!
We switched out the drop bars as he couldn't reach the break levers comfortably from the hoods.

Its such a great size, its such an easy bike for him to ride all day if needed.

Nice! How old is your son if you don’t mind my asking? I will probably put a flat bar on this initially to reduce the reach… s/he can ‘grow’ into the drop bar

He's just turned 9, but is a bit small for his age I think

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
