Bailey from Goldstream Bicycles wanted to build himself a collectible Kona. Sensibly, he picked one of our limited-edition 30th Birthday Honzo STs as a base. We made 201 of these bikes this year and the dark chrome mirror finish is just pure bling. The resulting build is a balanced mix of steel and carbon and of old and new.
The drivetrain is an 11-speed SRAM/OneUp Components setup. Up front, you’ll find a carbon SRAM XO crankset rocking OneUp’s switch oval ring and out the back, you’ll find a SRAM 1-speed XO rear mech.
The Cassette is a Shimano XT with a OneUp 47T chainring.
She gets it done.
The cockpit is a Chromag affair with their HiFi stem holding the classic BZA carbon bar in place.
It wouldn’t be a real Dream Build without a little Chris King.
Yes that is some SRAM XO Gripshift. If you know, you know.
Thomson’s classy dropper post looks after the uppy/downy bits and Chromag’s Trailmaster DT completes the cockpit.
Some classic and reliable (if treated with love) SRAM XO Trails handle the stopping while Industry 9 Hyrdra hubs keep thing engaged.
Number 25!
And the whole build is rounded out nicely with a Cane Creek Helm 150 fork.
