Hey ya’ll I’ve been on the hard tail only program for about 7 years now. Started with a 26” stylus then went to a honzo st with 27.5+ (2.8 vigilantes are the bees knees)
Just before Christmas I got my hands on a Ti tyaughtan from Knolly. The bike makes everything less of an event. I’m 6’ on a large. It’s gonna get a new wheelset and a few other things but here is how it sits now:
But more importantly I built up this 98 kona humuhumunukunukuapua'a. I’ve always wanted one of these and found one on the island for a price I couldn’t pass up. It’s currently on a set of 2.3 minions set up super ghetto tubeless. It’s got an s&m redneck stem, 26mm reach. I bent and brazed the bars up my self and they’re a whopping 900mm wide.
This was my favourite year for Kona graphics, helps that my first “real” mtb was a 98 fire mountain.
Hopefully going to be pulling my first klunker out of my ghetto frame jig in the next few weeks.
Also if anyone is interested in klunking around on the shore I’m looking for like minded (read; stubborn) individuals to get out for some stupid good times.
