Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of a *MINT* Kona Honzo Titanium *CUSTOM BUILT* hardtail mountain bike in size Medium. This bike was put together as a showpiece (which it truly is) and has never seen any usage whatsoever. It will come to you in the excellent condition that you see in the included photographs. This bike is an absolute dream to ride and will provide the optimal fit to any person who is 5'6" to over 6' tall depending upon your preference for bike fit.
The bike is sized Medium with effective top tube length of 61.4cm and head tube length of 10cm. That results in stack and reach figures of 64.1cm and 43.5cm respectively. It features a robustly designed and Handmade in the USA 3-2.5 Titanium frame shaped and welded by the titanium masters at Lynskey in Tennessee. Cane Creek supplies the "40" semi-integrated headset. The frame is finished with a suite of desirable parts that begins with a Fox 34 tapered-steerer fork mounted within the oversized 44mm headtube. Touchpoints come via Kona with a 40mm stem and 76cm bar with a slight rise. Supporting the rider is a KS dropper post and WTB saddle.
The drivetrain is a mix of Shimano and RaceFace: an SLX 11-speed rear shifter, XT 11-speed DynaSys rear derailleur, and 11-42 cassette team up with a RaceFace Affect Crank in 175mm length with a single 32 tooth chainring. Stopping power comes courtesy of Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes clamping a 180mm front rotor and 160mm rear. Wheels are custom as well with WTB rims laced to Shimano SLX hubs. Those get wrapped in Maxxis 29er tires with a 2.3 inch Minion DHF in front and 2.25 Ardent in rear.
Original retail of nearly $4,500, pick it up here for less in what is a very rare sale indeed! Total weight of the bike pictured is 12.96kg or 28lbs., 10oz.

The official word on the frame from Kona themselves:
"It might be one of the most intuitive mountain bikes we've ever made. You merely need to think about that you're going to do, and the Honzo Ti makes it happen. The 29-inch wheel Honzo has sought to blend the nostalgia of our original Kona XC sloping top tube hardtail philosophy with aggressive modern trail geometry. A bike that's slack, with geometry that helped define the long reach, low bottom bracket and short chainstay signatures of our popular Process line. In a nutshell, a frame that gives you precise steering, great standover, stability at speed and a defining nimbleness that let's you dance through corners, bunny hop the burl, climb with speed, and descend with supreme confidence. Join with this methodology the inherent lightweight and ride performance of Titanium, and all of a sudden you have a trail master of the tallest order."
Frame Features:
"Featuring a raw finish, the new 3-2.5 Titanium Honzo frame is highlighted by a stiff 12x142 rear axles, a long front center for great cockpit mobility and standover, relatively slack 68 degree head angle, a low bottom bracket, extremely short rear triangle, and a 31.6 dropper compatible seat tube with Stealth routing. The frame comes stock with the same adjustable thru-axle sliding geared dropouts as its steel cousin. Because it has a yoke at the chainstay/bottom bracket bridge, there is room for wider tires. The ride features incredible front end and overall stiffness, intuitive trail performance and efficient pedaling. Light, lively and active, this is a trail gazelle."
