Rock shox dart 1, 100mm, preload adjust. think they have lock out, ill check tomorrow.

rest is all kona parts, eg, stem ,grips,saddle, handlebars.

the frame is 2 years old and has a few scratches, otherwise in perfect nick.
ALL PARTS are BRAND new NEVER used.

im looking for €400 BUT am open to sensible offers, if you were to buy this bike out of a shop you are staring at a €650 minimun price tag.

mods feel free to remove this but i think it will be of more interest here than on adverts, which ill put there anyways.:)

What do you think of that fork out of interest? I think it does have lockout, I was looking at another bike with it. 16" is too small for me unfortunately.

kona

its a solid enough fork, works fine.
the preload isnt as good as more expensive forks, so when you hit a bump it pops you up.
also a bit heavy at 3.5kg:eek:

kona

forks dont have lockout function however , you can put in it.

and pics up!

2.5kg surely? I was looking at the Dart 3 that is only a fraction lighter (2.2) but did have lockout. Quite a contrast to a 500g road fork, but then I guess MTB ones actually "do" something ;-)

That looks like a nice unique build for €400, good luck with selling it (and good luck with retrieving from your bike thief.)

hopefully, the i added up the cost of a replacement....e1300:eek::eek::eek:

ye the darts have a load of different sub-specs if you get me, there are different dart 1s

they are quite heavy id give em 3kg, good solid fork though especially for the money:D!

lightest forks ive ever rode were rocco sids, 1.3 kg 80mm travel, expensive tho!!

kona

im also open to sensible offers,
this bike is easily up to commutes, heavy panniers, and also at home on trails.

great for the amount of people i encounter looking for a good bike that they can commute on and then go up the mountains with the mates every month or so:D

Afraid I have a MTB in the €400 for occasional off road, so I'm not in the market.

However, you don't live in Galway by any chance?

That kitchen layout looks exactly the same as the one in my house, moved in 18 months ago !!!

kona

Now that you mention it my parents have the same kitchen, too.

It's a sweet bike, Kona. If I didn't buy my vulcan, I would be interested in getting this.

kona

hows the vulcan anyways, they are solid bike too.

AlmightyCushion

It's pretty sweet, really happy with it. I haven't used it that much yet though.

kona

bump.
