Vintage Kona Hard-tail has been repurposed many times
This classic Kona has seen service as a Mountain Bike, Beach Cruiser and is currently configured in a BMX Cruiser style.
It's the bike that started me on custom bike builds as a hobby and it provided real learning experience.
Its strong alloy frame has been upgraded with Rockshox forks and a disc brake front end. It also features a Halo Combat wheelset fitted with MAXXIS Hookworm rubber.
The 10" BMX bars are fitted with upgraded Shimano selectors for the 24-speed gears.
Comfort gips were added, along with braided cables with teflon-coated inners throughout.
It's also running a Brooks C17 saddle for excellent comfort.
Mods include:
- Rockshox forks
- Halo Combat Wheelset
- Hayes Disc brake front end
- Upgraded cables, shifters and levers
- Brooks C17 saddle
- SE BMX pedals
- 10" BMX handlebars
- Hookworms
Its upright ergonomic, the Brooks C17 and big balloon tyres make for a very comfortable ride on most surfaces too.
