Anyone one one yet? What's the bike weigh?
On paper this looks like my next ride, just waiting for some feedback.
Thanks.

Almost any Kona can be purchased frame only. Check with your Kona dealer.

Give these guys a call, I bought Kona frames from both with great success and service. All over the phone and they shipped to Chicago.

I got quoted $450 from The Path. I ordered a Satori, don't need another bike for sure, but still want a Taro for no good reason.

$1075 shipped. I'm going to sell the HT before I ride it. Figure a couple hundred more for a bike I've been lusting after for a year now is worth it.

Only 75 less than a honzo, seem like honzo is the way to go. (free shipping from bikeman)

I am looking at picking up one of these. The local shop ordered one in for me to check out, said they were pretty confident that even if I didn't like it that they would be able to sell it quickly due to the honzo's popularity.

^I would agree...this bike is a killer value
I got a chance to stare at and weigh a Medium Taro today. 31lbs including those heavy stock pedals. It wasn't really my size so my 30 second impressions don't count for much, but it seemed easier to turn than what I was used to.
"Easier to turn?" I thought you only stared at it?
Kidding aside, that's awfully heavy for an alu framed bike. No advantage over the stock Honzo as a complete bike in terms of weight then. But then again, the specs are lower than the Honzo's. I wonder where most of the weight is coming from? The wheels maybe?
Thanks for sharing
