Kona Unit 18 inch steel singlespeed: White Industries, Hugi, Mavic, ENVE, 3T, XT

Description

2003 Kona Unit top end steel frame, custom built up with classic parts and professionally resprayed. Arguably the best singlespeed mountain bike Kona has made, a joy to ride round town or in the mountains.
This bike has been well used but has lots more life in it and needs a new home. The respray was by Armourtex in Hackney, who are one of the best.

Condition

Used. This bike has been ridden around London for a few years since it was resprayed and has the chips and scuffs you would expect, see photos, but the (in my view) very nice shade of green and simple logo free set up means it still looks lovely.
Frame straight, wheels true, drivetrain, hubs and breaks all running clean. Plenty of life left in all of the parts.

Sale

Collection preferred. Boxed postage at cost, ask first. Questions welcome.
