WARNING: The Abra Cadabra can cause sudden outbreaks of extreme happiness. This is a shot taken on the Prairie View/Jewel Pass trail in Kananaskis. Nice one Ryan.

I’m three rides in on one super sweet bike. 2010 CoilAir Supreme frame, full Saint Groupo, Chromag OSX bar and stem, Easton Havoc seat post, Mavic Crossmax SX wheelset, 2.5 tubeless Maxxis SuperTack tires, Totem Solo Air fork. At an 20-inch frame size, with beefy SPD pedals, the bike still weighs in at an honest 35-pounds. Not bad for a bike with 7 inches of front travel and up to 8-inches in the back, thanks to G2 Magic Link technology. For the type of riding we do out here in Nelson, BC, with super tech climbs to super burly downs, it’s amazingly svelte ride with all the right geometry to go up efficiently and then go down fast with big confidence. Stay tuned for more trail reports.
We took a bone stock Abra Cadabra frame, and applied a premier parts kit from some of the industry’s best parts suppliers. Everything on this Abra Cadabra is off the shelf, available from your local Kona dealer. The result is a 24.75lb Abra Cadabra, fully capable of your season’s longest epic ride. Giddy up.

From the reasoning of the Dawg name to the best comic book authors, from the history of the Hot to a timeline of industrial music, Cory has the trivia, and the opinions to mouth off about it.
I posted my Paddy Wagon recently, now we’ll take a look at another fixie, this one hailing from Springfield, MO.

I’m impulsive and have a short attention span. This means bikes get changed around a lot. On my 2007 Paddy Wagon, i wanted to change the paint, but wasn’t sure what to go for… so i stripped it. Its new name came courtesy of Hurl at Cars R Coffins who told me simply “Rust never sleeps” when he learned that i hadn’t clear coated it.
I may do that at some point, but right now i dig the raw look.

The girl is obviously super stoked about her bike.
A big part of what makes a Kona bike different from all the others is its longevity. We make bikes that last for generations. So when we come across people who still ride bikes we made in the early 1990s, we get excited. Here’s a cool blog post from Steve Behr, who’s now using his ’93 Explosif to tote his little kid through the park. Atta boy Steve, good daddin’ on ya mate!
