So we were drooling over the 09 Kona catalog as I stopped by the LBSfor coffee
Some fun stuff, like the neato "Dew Drop":
http://www.konaworld.com/09_dewdrop_en.cfm Should list for $700. Alu frame--nice and rigid. Tour on it, commute, whatever. Fun stuff. The componentry qualifies as good enough to bang around town or ride across the country. Don't know if I'd trust the hubset to go all the way to Timbuktu. But the one I like most is the Honky Tonk: http://www.konaworld.com/09_honkytonk_en.cfm $1K. Look ma, downtube shifters! Was designed for the Portland market-- funny, if I made a bike for Portland--I'd make it *aluminum*, duh. ;-) Still, it's very handsome with the skinny tubes and it's pretty much what 90% of what road bikes should look like on sales floors. It's a really fun catalog this year, have a browse, much better color palate than last year, which was too tropical. ;-) |

It was a nice-looking cargo bike at a very appealing price. Maybe next time they go out on that kind of limb, they'll have the sense to make it in more than one size! Chalo |

That's what I get for looking at the header image instead of the actual *specsheet*. Cool! The 17" was way too small for me as well. Is it just the one bag instead of two? Just the one, But then you can hang as many supplemental regular panniers as needed on the other side. Smart. The first generation panniers looked very lame. |

Hmm. I guess I must have browsed their website before that model was posted, but after most of the others were. Good news. Chalo |

Any idea how much Ute is? Is that one bag or two? |
