The local shop mentioned the idea of me using a Kona singlespeed (freewheel) for commuting. I like the idea a lot, but has anyone here had any experience with the Kona?

Ask the dealer to let you test ride it, I dont think I've ever been to a shop that wouldnt let you ride before you buy.

As if fate would have it my next bike is going to be a Kona Smoke, I'm going to use it for my wet bike and the first thing I'm going to do is convert it to a SS/FW swap hub.

Mine is over 2 years old and love it. It was built from the frame up, Kona's version has a rigid fork and v-brakes.
