What do you think of the Kona 88?

Have a look!

First thing I thought of was Raleigh's PUB http://www.raleighusa.com/items.asp?itemid=278
Not quite as similar as I first thought after closer examination though. Both pretty cool bikes.

The PUB is nice, also, the other Raleigh cruisers, Raleigh UK is rubbish - we only get boring mountain bikes.
I wish the Kona had more brakes than just a rear coaster, it's still cool though.

had to look at both at the same time and ................ it's cool but i'll keep my 700 bucks

Thanks for adding the 2 pics.
$700 that's cheap compared to the UK - about $976 here!

Wow the dollar hold up at least someplace. All said cool frames from both companies. I would rather have an Uncle Stretch though.

I like it! Plus it would look great with my other Kona:

I think your Kona would look good with my Kona

TANK BIKES

Are there many new bikes with tanks availble in the US or Canada? I think the Kona 88 may be the only one in the UK. (I don't think the Raleigh PUB is available over here).
