Kona Minute

sbs2010

Hi

Does anyone out the either have a Kona Minute or seen one in a bike shop in/near Dublin?

They used to have one in Cycleways but didn't see it there recently.

I'm looking for advice and/or test spin in advance of possible BTW purchase

Thanks.

Alek

I have one and can let you ride it if you want

Can you still get them new? I thought they were discontinued.

Thanks. It's still on their website so hopefully I can get one.

Definitely interested in a test spin. Can I ask what was the main reason you got it?

I'm hoping to commute through the city centre with an 8yo on the back.

Does that sound do-able?

Cargo and family touring. Works well in both.

It should be perfect, if you mount something like Yepp GMG seat and stoker bars to the seat tube. And Ursus Jumbo kickstand.

Also, upgrade your brakes to hydraulic straight away. The ones that came with the bike (mechanical Promax) were a joke.

Great info, thanks.

I'll check availability, price etc in Cycleways and maybe send you a PM to get a spin on yours.

Where are you based?

Alek

Portobello area. PM me and we can arrange the spin

I got mine from Fitzcycles - ask them too. They're sound lads.
