Parts listed followed by a asterisk are brand new when bike was built January 2023


Selling my Steel Hardtail project bike, built cause I haven’t ridden a hardtail in 20 yrs, built this up in January 2023 and rode it about 12 times or so. Really fun bike with a great build and rides like a aggressive trail bike.. This is a really fun bike, I would say between the 150mm fork and Wolftooth 1degree headset, it’s more like a Kona ESD. I just decided my old knees can’t handle a hardtail, so fun while it lasted but time to sell, bike is just sitting in garage for months now. Frame was bought brand new in December 2022 and parts marked with asterisk were purchased new. Everything else is in excellent condition and all parts are very clean, with very little to no blemishes or scratches, except for the rims, they have the usual nicks and scratches. Fork was serviced with new seals and oil, and a new crown steer tube, plus upgraded the Air spring and serviced the Dropper post and the rear hub. Brakes are bleed and pads in excellent condition. You can find cheaper Kona Honzo’s but most likely not with such a great spec of components or in like new condition. Any questions or need for more photos, just let me know.

Re: crown steer tube(brand new) it’s marked as a 170mm which just means the sag markings are off. Fork only had about 8 months of use and fork was drop stanchion tube headfirst in jagged rock, so I bought it cheap, replaced the steer crown but 170mm was all that was available, no adverse effects regarding forks function.
