1998 Kona Hei Hei

[Tallpaul]

I'm a bit pleased with this one

I rode a few miles of road to get to the trail and could only describe the ride as 'odd', this worried me as i've ridden plenty of steel Konas and never thought twice. The second i left tarmac and hit dirt all my doubts disappeared, she is fast, very, very, fast

Oh, and i'm aware that it's not as retro as some would like; but i don't care

Some excellent kit choices great blend of new, old and retro. Smoke and dart look really good and the magura's are nice too.
