I've been interested in building a full rigid single speed mountain bike for a bit now. I started doin some research and decided I’d prob go with a Kona if I could find one on the cheap.
Well, as luck would have it, I found this 2003 Kona unit frame with a Surly instigator fork on eBay. I happen to find it the same day I was handed my Christmas bonus...
(Screen shot, forgot to take a pic when I received it)
I sent the seller an offer, and a bit later it was at my door. It’s been spray bombed colors I’m not too fond of, so that will be getting removed/ covered. I already have a lot of what I’ll need to build this up.
My goal is to build something I don’t mind beating up, and can take on local trails, camping, etc.
I do have a rigid Kona project 2 fork that I may swap for the surly one, as the surly is suspension corrected. I’ll prob mock it up and try both to decide.
