I'd like to try the King Kikapu. I tried the Deluxe, and I wasn't sure; riding the King might make things more clear.
Unfortunately, of the two stores listed on Kona's site in the Boulder area, one doesn't sell them anymore and the other didn't have any Kings. The latter store rep said they sold like hotcakes and that I'd be hard pressed to find a store with one.
Do any Coloradans have an LBS they know carries Kona and might have a King in 16?

Ouch. That may be a little heavy for you. I have a Yeti Kokopelli Ultralight. It weighs about 25.5 pounds and kicks ass! You can get one fully loaded for less than your top-out price. They are also local to your state.

A glowing review from a flatlander. How quaint.

It is quaint, isn't it.
Flat yes. Boring no. I think all those rocks and dust particles have gone to your head. Come on over to the east and I'll show you around sometime. We make up for the lack of hills in other ways.

There wouldn't be much of a difference, if indeed you are referring to the Kikapu Deluxe, when you say "Deluxe". Same bike, just different components.
Yup. I think it was the fit that fundamentally didn't do it for me. Then again, it came equipped with superwide handlebars, and that may have thrown me off more than it should have, even though I tried to mentally compensate for it.
Anyway, after today's ride with the Klein, I am 90% sure I will get it. Just a matter of having them adjust the !@$!!@ drivetrain on this demo bike so that I can see proof that it will willingly shift from the smallest ring to the middle without a fight.
I've liked dealing with Wheatridge. ridewrc.comintro.cfmOpen ↗ I think we bought three bike from them (an a trailercycle tagalong thing).

They're a bit far for casual interest, but it's good to hear your endorsement. After perusing their website, I wasn't sure if maybe they were a little sketchy ... their built bikes list a price but don't specify the fork used, which just seems weird.

That does seem wierd. Perhaps it could be worth a call. Then again, you seem very happy with the Klein, so maybe not. 🙂

Don't knock it till you've tried it.
You need to do some more homework, shanauzerboy. I lived and rode in NC for over 8 years. New Jerky aint shiite compared to The Old North State.
