Anyone know where to find the Aussie pricing on the 2018 Konas? Specifically the two carbon 153 models?

Ain't you a transition whore these days?

Could give Taylor cycles a call they do Kona.

The new 153 looks like a weapon.... much want.

Haha... I reckon. Will be a shock if I go that way after so many Transitions. Waiting for pricing on the new Patrols as well....

The Konas have lifetime warranty which is awesome.

Prices I got on the new Kona Carbons for anyone interested.

Process 153 CR DL - $7900
Process 153 CR - $6200

Any frame only prices?

Not for fussy lanky guys who change bikes every cycle of the moon.

Haven't you heard the saying new moon new bike?!

You need a pink bike for 3 weeks and a brown bike for one week?

Where has that distinctive Process shape gone? Rear triangle and shock placement. Looks like most other bikes now.

But with a primitive axle placement.

Can fit a bottle properly now though.

So can tranny's.:boink:

Their new offset is weird though, which could be a reason to switch

The new aluminium Patrol is more than the Carbon Kona for the same spec, and the Kona has a better warranty :decision:

But! transition is cooler? maybe...

At least the do the best promo videos.

They might be covering the cost of special offset forks? There both pretty good brands, and build their frames to last (kona have come leaps and bounds since those woefull years of snapped foot long rockers)I can't imagine you'd be unhappy with either. Kona are cool again haha

Tbh I never considered buying a complete transition. Almost worthile buying a giant and parts swapping what you can, then selling the frame.

Hell yeah. I've even got the Party In The Woods socks already.

Yeah I'd go frame only, but my old Patrol has a 160mm Pike and a non-Boost wheelset so would need new forks and wheels anyway.

Went here to look for prices on the 29er 153 models, and I'm getting "blocked by firewall" messages.

In any case - what's the 'DL' stand for? As in PROCESS 153 AL/DL 29 vs PROCESS 153 AL 29? From what I can see, the frame fork & shock are the same on both - just wheels & groupset differences.
