Well I saw it in the flesh (the Kona not Poddy :shock: ) this afternoon and it looks stunning. The argos metalic paint both on the Fork/Stem combo and on the frame really show their quality in the sun.
The only thing I don't like is the black seat post. I REALLY needs to be silver.
I make no apologies at all for the 4 bolt Middleburns. All my bikes are 4 bolt and I'm not adding another standard to the garage.
Same goes for the saddle. SDG Bel Air, because I can actually sit on one all day!
It's not going to get a lot of use, but sunny summer trail rides are right up it's street I think
An the answer to the question you're all asking is "Just a couple of ounces over 24lb, including the bottle cage"
If you are considering changing the post to a sliver one, why not changing the saddle, too ? I think the saddle itself looks good, but maybe in a different colour ? The brown looks quite lost. :?
Everyone I've shown it to says they don't like that saddle! It's stopping on there, but point taken, I think a silver post will show it off LOT better!
