| Additional Info | My old Kona Chute in its 3rd iteration. Super versatile, nice tight handling but not quite as stable as modern super slack geometry. That retro stem is so looong! Such a pity I cracked the frame eventually through metal fatigue. Still nearly 20 years and plenty of hard riding! Great job Kona!! | |
