Very nice bike and article. I built up a 2010 kona minxy (= stinky air 6 with great black/pink/purple colorways) for my sister. It also has the coke can headtube, which made it easy to use a tapered steerer fox 32 talas. I swapped the nds dropout for a standard qr, which was cheaper than a prop axle, and ditched the brake support. With a short stem and decently wide handlebar, and rather lightweight cranks and wheels, the bike has a respectable weight of 15kg, and a pretty decent geometry. 26" wheels are also still sufficient for her uses.
