Had this for a while now and its still not the way i want it but its now rideable and i figured it was worth posting. Its only done a few round the block gear trials so far but i'm looking forward to taking it out properly tomorrow. Its got a mish mash of modern and retro parts on it and i'm afraid i'm a great believer in riser bars.

The fork complements the frame perfectly. I agree about function being more important than form, but funnily enough, while I'd be more tradionalist in sticking to silver parts and flat bars, I would definitely have fitted V-brakes without a qualm.
I actually don't know why they didn't fit V-brakes to the 96 Kona range anyway, as they were available then - the 96 catalogue shows all of the top bikes except for the Hot and Ku with Maguras and the rest with Curve cantis. Perhaps just traditional Kona anti-Shimano bias!

joe breeze and friends had cowbars fitted so they came before straights therefore risers are retro

Cheers guys Am very pleased with it myself. I had comtemplated putting some M950 V's on it but at the moment all i have on the cards is getting some wheels built up for it. I have a front pineapple hub and a rear M950 which are going to be laced to some 717 CD rims.
