I rode a young kona riders a few days ago, They ride really nice and have managed to shed some weight....
But yours just looks insane, they have gone back to the 2005 paint job look.

 

[Mini Reza]

very nice... whats the weight?

 

[Plow King]

Wow, that thing looks awesome compared to the 06 kona stabs. Nice work!

 

[Matt H]

nice spec, but i'm really hating the bent top-tube, ohh and when are kona going to update the ridiculously out-dated faux bar?

 

[.:Easily:.]

wow very nice bike

looks a little thin though

 

[donthucktoflat]

looks very.. umm... race! amazing for a Kona.. i remember the old Stab deelux and stab primos.. so hucker but that is damn fine. look like it'd be real stable at speed.

weight?

 

[juan]

Nice....what brand is your ti spring?

 

[Duff_Man]

yeh i aint a massive fan of the top tube, should be rounded i rekon. the ti spring is a manitou, and the weight comes in at around 19. It could be lighter with a different rear mec and a few other little changes, but i fuk lots of them so ill try this one for now, lol.

 

[Stell]

HOT ... very HOT !!!

 

[DH_co]

very nice looking bike...

How is the geo going? Has kona made the long as stabs any shorter?

 

[-toby-]

hucker ....

 

[Duff_Man]

oh yeh toby...looks like we might be having a discussion at the next race ey...you me a some fists...lol! If it is a hucker who has been hitting linkons gap??? on an orange i might add, better check for cracks ey....

yeh the geo is fukin sweet as man, it has a better head angle and bb height compared to alot of dh bikes, so many changes it aint funny! feels alot better than my old one and that felt heaps better than the one before that, check out the angles urself: http://www.konaworld.com/bikes/2k7/STABDELUXE/index.html
