I am very stoked to see that Kona has arrived! I am just hoping that they will bring in framesets as well. 

 

I would suggest you take another look at Dial'd Bikes website as I have noticed that they have uploaded frameset options for Kona  :thumbup:

Tragic photoshopping fail on those Process frame-set only images.

 

Appears one does get 1/8th of a rear wheel and tyre with each, and some drivetrain bits, a full Raceface chainring and a bit of crank. 

 

Is this the new 'Duro frame set philosophy for builds?

 

What a deal.

They just took my favourite bike in the WORLD, and made it better

 

Carbon, THREADED BOTTOM BRACKET!!!! 

 

And that port at the bottom for internal cabling management and Di2 battery mounting. Brilliant!

The company's founder also stressed that the last thing he wanted to do was to create another "me to" carbon frame, but rather offer a unique product that would stand the test of time. Future-proof, if you will. The new bike has a threaded bottom bracket shell that, when questioned about, Noel simply said, "We're not f*cking around.'' Fair enough. There's also a port that acts as home to a Di2 battery should the owner want to go that route, and it can be accessed by first removing the bolt-on down tube guard and then unthreading three T25 torx screws. The same port is said to make it simple to route the internal cables that pass down the down tube before travelling up the seat tube and out a specially sealed gland that's tucked up beneath the Fourby4 linkage. Buckley has even made sure that the gland's opening is large enough to allow a SRAM hydraulic quick release to pass through, and the drive-side seat stay also features an internal tube that makes it simple to pass a new cable through. Up front, the cable entry ports can be fitted with one of six differently shaped rubber openings that can accommodate for every imaginable cable routing scenario, even including the 2mm wires required by Shimano's Di2 drivetrain.

Awesome! Really like Kona bikes. Maybe I'll be in the market for something like this next year too - although the other model is specced with a pike etc. so thats more appealing. BUT DAT GREEN THO.
