2002ish Kona Cowan

[NickGNZ]

Hi All,

Thought I'd post up my NOS Kona Cowan I have just built up from a donor bike I recently picked up. This is a frame I used to want when I used to hang around bike shops after school

I plan to rebuild the Pikes shortly and then sort the brakes out... well get some new brakes including a front! Would love some old XT 2-pots but those are hard to come by here in NZ!

Hopefully you enjoy!

Re:

That is a very clean looking bike, the build just fits together for a very cohesive look.
Congrats

Oooh that's lovely - looks great with the Pikes Are they the dark blue ones?

Re:

They are indeed the blue ones. Are they rare? Aftermarket only?

Wouldn’t mind replacing the the bars and stem with something more fitting to the age. Some Azonics perhaps!

Yes, I remember Winstanleys having a NOS pair on offer many years ago - once I had the cash they were gone. Not seen a pair since. Azonic did a double wall riser in navy blue too - would be perfect
