New to me...

Kona Zing Deluxe

Bought this cheap on CL, has an interesting mix of components, CF crank with Microshift derailleurs and Bontrager wheels. I upgraded the tires, seat, seatpost and stem....

Spent about a week cleaning and adjusting, it was pretty much neglected.

The guy claims that he built it from a NOS 2008 frame about 2 years ago, and put about 1000 miles on it...That could be accurate, the frame is pretty much immaculate, the only blemishes are a little cable rub on the headtube...

I've never had a plastic bike so this will be fun... (Never used Microshift either, so that will be interesting.)

I know Kona never made a lot of noise in road bikes, so there ain't a lot of info on this one, but the frame was made by Dedacciai, and like I said, it looks pretty much pristine, so I feel fairly confident...
