This little sweety popped up on my radar nearby this morning. It had been posted for 26 minutes (around 7 AM) and already had four likes. I texted the owner and put the rack on the truck. $100 for this no-miles 2012 Africabike 3. I've never seen one before today and didn't know the story (here) but I fell in love immediately.

It's been raining a lot so I haven't ridden her yet but that was just an excuse to spend some shop time with my first Kona.

One hour later:
Basket and saddle came off first. Better seatpost and (test) Wald bars on a nicer Townie stem. Chain guard is plastic and rubs the crank arm so I dunno.

We need the rain so I'll try to be patient

Cool bike, but you can tell the first article linked wasn't written by bike nerds...
"Built around a double cromoly steel, step-through, Kona 6061 aluminum-butted frame..."
Lolz about the rain, the bike was designed to be weatherproof. It's from the we(s)t coast
