Hi all,

Does anyone know of any Kona dealers in sydney. Not fussed on how good they are, just shopping around for a potential new bike purchase and will only buy the bike from them but get it serviced at my lbs (lbs doesnt sell Kona).

thanks all

I am looking to replace my commuter bike with one of these

Commuter is dying and needs new bits and i dont weant to really spend money on a 7yr old bike.
I may even enter a cyclocross race or 2, you never know

Bike addiction don't stock them anymore, but they do have a couple of 2006 bikes that you could probably pick up pretty cheap.

Cheers,
Scott.

Ahhhhh.... this was on my shortlist too. Trouble was there was a 6 month wait so for around the same money got the Bianchi instead.

Go see Hugh - he commutes on his Jake (which is not particularly standard mind). Just call first to make sure he brings it.

BTW, and maybe this in an oman, saw a bright green Jake the Snake in Chatswood last night. They sure do stand out! Eye-wink

Or come to St Ives on Saturday, you might find a few Cyclocross examples to play with.

do you get the bianchi from CBD Rob.
Which model did you get?

The Bright green jake the snake is the 2007 model, 2008 is blue, not so out there in your face like the green

Well - I'm doing the race on Sat... should be a laugh.

Just fitted cross-top levers to the Bianchi, downhill braking will be much better now! Smiling

This year's Jake the Snake looks to have a few upgrades over last... go for it!

thanks for all your suggestions on Kona dealers.
Parramatta Bike Barn was the closest shop to me so i went there this afternoon.
Was very happy with there service and price, so i ordered a 08 Jake the Snake.
They cant order until the 2nd of January (distributor is closed till then) but will arrive shortly after that (this fits in nicely with me as i am off on holidays until about the 11th jan so i will pick it up when i am back)
Will post some pics when it arrives.
thanks again
Don
