That is ridiculously expensive for what is in essence a mass production frame.
I realise that it's limited and all but that price is crazy.
Kona are a bit on the pricey side. Boutique prices for big production numbers.
Not a bad business model if it works. Bikes seem to be pretty good however. Not ridden one, mate loves his Honzo though.
GT also did the Xizang Ti. Looks nice. And expensive.
And super light.

Changed tack, went plastic and got a GT carbon zaskar for ~$500

Maybe titanium in the future

Pretty sure they have some Kona Rajan's (SP) in australia. They will be a year or two old but might be worth a look. I have a Xizang and you can probably pick up a frame second hand for around $1100 if they come up.

For what it's worth TI is awesome.

One of the facebook bike market pages had a guy selling his XL Honzo Ti frame (which was unbuilt project bike) recently. You should check that out because the size and material would make it a slow mover!!!

Never going to be easy when you're looking for XL sizing.
I'm in the same boat.
Next HT will be steel and 29 but am looking at just refurbishing the Enduro instead of replacing.
Good price on the Zaskar. And a pretty good looking rig too

I decided to save up and go down the path of a custom Titanium from Waltly, based on a Kona Raijin with SS and geared 12x142 sliding dropouts

I'll create a new build thread with my experience
