Thumbs up Anyone interested in a Kona full susser Mountain Bike?

I recently bought the wife a Kona Coiler MTB. The seller had diddled me as the original hydraulic brakes were kn@ckered

Anyway, I replaced them with some really good Hope versions with brand new hoses. Aside from that the bike is as it appears below.

The bike is, sadly, too big for the wife (didnt realise just how tiny she is) and would more likely suit someone 5'3" and over as a MTB though it is actually big enough for me too as it has wide bars on it and would be great as a nice chuckable free-ride bike or even a jump bike if you fancy being silly on it

It seems to have a bolt-thru front end (maxle?) on what I am sure are Rock Shocks but just not 100% sure what model they are as the stickers have come off but assume they must be good with a bolt-thru axle and has SRAM X9 rear derailleur with a bash ring up front and a Romic coil over shock at the back. Super plush ride and quite good fun!


The frame has been re-sprayed in blue though doesnt seem to be professionaly done but is a decent enough job. All in all, a good solid, well made bike from the Kona stable.


Aside from that, it is actually a very nice bike and has had around £140 spent on it by me with the Hope brakes, fitting and new hoses only to find Wifey doesnt want it


If anyone wants to offer me £400 for it then they can have it as I dont want to rip anyone off or go through the hassle of sticking it on fleabay. It is advertised on a bike forum though
