Originally I had a yellow 07 with black rear triangle which I bought new but it was a L, too big but I wanted one soo bad and it was a good deal, then I got a brand new 06 front triangle which is blue, the 06 rears were white. Hence the frankenstein effort but I dont like the White anyways. The I'm not sure the exact situation with dropouts, I got mine with a ds dropout attaced to the frame straight out of the box, but the guy in the shop called the distributor pagilap? Who said I ahold have had both, the euro versions only came with a single ss dropout but uk should have had both, after chasing them for a few months it eventually arrived through the post. The original kona dropouts are silver, I have seen 3rd party black versions. I saw a kona ss one for sale on eBay recently for a few pounds, you should keep an eye out, the dropout from the similar aged Cowan hardtails also fit.
I'm running a 28-14 at present but not real great ratio but there are a lot of uphills and I use it for general trail riding too, Im thinking of putting gears back on it ? Will see about that as I like the simplicity and lack of chain noise with the ss set up??
It was free, I was told by the distributor that uk spec frames in 2007 came with both but euro ones did not. The sent me one free of charge though I didnhave to chase them repeatedly to get it, ended up only running gears for a few months, thinking of switching back tho at the moment just to make the bike more usable About Us
