only complaint is lack of decent bottle mount after being fully liberated the last couple seasons…

I just put together this little guy to skid some fire roads with this winter
bought it off a buddy who say's its from 1981 ish? I like the gusset under the headtube.
Has an American BB, so this old set of profiles found a new home
Built up some new rims on to an old coaster hub and a road front hub. Spoke washers to keep it extra classy
this bicycle reeks of sex.

bummer to hear about the pump.

3 rear hubs on 2015 Kona Process 111 in 600km
one of my coworkers has had a similar issue with his 111's rear hub- big guy who rides hard.
he's for sure on his second and possibly en route to a third.

What's with Kona? They were sucking it a few years back and it's been nothing but win for the last couple years. New people running it? New designers?
pretty sure the reason is chris mandell.
hoping for a boost rear on the 16 explosif to accommodate some fatter rubber.
my only complaint on my 14 and 15 has been the r tire clearance.

why?
2015 is identical and I like to keep bikes moving while they are still in good shape!
