Cornish Custom Rat

David from Cornish Dealer www.ricciltd.com has been customising his bikes. A long story short… I love all that low-brow Hot Rod culture, but not having a ’34 Ford Coup at hand I decided to let my inner red-neck Rock-a-Billy with a Kernow twist loose on a Kona Rat Frame…the Rat had it’s glossy Purple paint stripped with Oven cleaner, Nitromors, Wire Wool and Elbow greese…this took some doing…I then put the naked Rat outside coverd it in salt, bleach and the occasional waz on it as the mood took and let nature do it’s thing…BANG…six weeks later and my Rat had a certain rusty something… in rust we trust… I have a lot of LOVE for Kona and the Rat joins my Paddy Wagon, A-ha and Humuhumunukunukuapua Deluxe but I gotta to polish those ones! over n’ out David.

The 20th anniversary of the Eurobike Show saw record visitor numbers to the Kona booth. The show itself welcomed over 60,000 visitors, the Kona stand offered a welcome respite for cycling fans, with a cold beer and a relaxed encampment to sit back in, visitors could look through the 2012 Kona Bicycle Range at their leisure.

The new Entourage short travel downhill bike was a show favourite, with the 130mm travel Satori and all mountain Honzo set to lead the 29er pack this year. Contact your local Kona Dealer for more details on arrival of the 2012 range of bicycles by clicking through to the Dealer Locator HERE.
