  1. 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.

    Wheat Ridge, CO. About a half hour drive.

    You may like them, or maybe not. The important thing is,
    you're looking at lots of different bikes. Good luck.

    As I understand it, production's all dried up for the year.

    I could be entirely wrong, of course, but that's what a Kona
    bike shop told me.

    I think I'll like the Klein better, anyway ... gonna try to
    test it out today and see what happens.

    Too bad you're not in L.A. One of my LBS's has a whole [censored]
    load of Kona's. There were having a little demo ride thing
    going last weekend too.

    Ok, so I confess, I threw a leg over one <konawo-konawo-

    Living in Louisiana, I had no clue about them. Just helping
    out a fellow/chick biker down on their luck. 🙂

    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.

    Don't knock it till you've tried it.

    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 am looking for the VCD of Shannon, Jaime, and Destiny
    model. I am also looking for a more recent VCD of Shannon,
    Christina, Missy, and Stephi.

    Thanks for any help. Please email me at [email hidden]

    Yeah, maybe he could leave the video on the next time you
    peek in his window.

    Gee Ricky, what will your neighbors and the members of your
    church think

    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. 🙂

    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.
