Nov 25, 2021Kona Hei Hei DL Carbon
$3200 USDFor sale XL Kona Hei Hei DL Carbon. It's in great condition and running perfect. Only real damage is a paint chip on the top tube from a bike rack, otherwise the frame is excellent. The bike is a little dirty in the photos, it's cleaned up now.
It has a many nice upgrades and I'll give the specs below. The suspension was just serviced professionally and in perfect shape. I have two rear shocks for it, the original Fox DPS (just serviced) and a Manitou McLeod (new). You can have your choice of either shock, or buy both for a little extra $. All of the suspension pivots were serviced with new bearings last year.
I'm going to swap out the saddle in the pics and add new grips. No pedals included. The wheels are stock from another Kona (last 3 pictures), WTB i30 rims in great shape, 1 year old. I'll go over them to make sure the spoke tension is good and they're strait before I sell it.

I don't think I'd use the term "progressive" when describing any new bike with 445mm chainstays and a short Reach. (size XL)

Jess Blewitt Sustained a Broken Femur and Fractured Vertebrae in her Snowshoe Race Run Crash
@budgie-1: I hear you. I wasn't looking for video coverage of them helping her, just commentary updates that she was being taken care of, or that she was at least stable and not critical. They also could have posted an update online post race or something, anything, other than crickets.

I was very disappointed that Redbull nor the UCI gave ANY updates about her condition. Everyone knew that was a horrible crash and it was wrong of them not to even acknowledge there was a bad crash for the remainder of the event. That's BS. I expect better from both Redbull and UCI. Heal up Jess!
