  1. I'd like to try the King Kikapu. I tried the Deluxe, and I wasn't sure;
    riding the King might make things more clear.

    Unfortunately, of the two stores listed on Kona's site in the Boulder
    area, one doesn't sell them anymore and the other didn't have any Kings.
    The latter store rep said they sold like hotcakes and that I'd be hard
    pressed to find a store with one.

    Do any Coloradans have an LBS they know carries Kona and might have a
    King in 16?

    Ouch. That may be a little heavy for you. I have a Yeti Kokopelli
    Ultralight. It weighs about 25.5 pounds and kicks ass! You can get one
    fully loaded for less than your top-out price. They are also local to your
    state.

    Wheat Ridge, CO. About a half hour drive.

    You may like them, or maybe not. The important thing is, you're looking at
    lots of different bikes. Good luck.

    As I understand it, production's all dried up for the year.

    I could be entirely wrong, of course, but that's what a Kona bike shop
    told me.

    I think I'll like the Klein better, anyway ... gonna try to test it out
    today and see what happens.

    Kona did introduce their bikes a bit earlier then everyone else last year, but
    considering it's a high end bike, I can't believe they would not have been
    willing to locate one at another shop, no matter how far away, to get you one.
    I'll bet they wouldn't charge you five extra dollars for it either LOL!

    Living in Louisiana, I had no clue about them. Just helping out a
    fellow/chick biker down on their luck. 🙂

    Too bad you're not in L.A. One of my LBS's has a whole [censored] load of
    Kona's. There were having a little demo ride thing going last weekend too.

    Ok, so I confess, I threw a leg over one

    Ouch. That may be a little heavy for you. I have a Yeti Kokopelli
    Ultralight. It weighs about 25.5 pounds and kicks ass! You can get one
    fully loaded for less than your top-out price. They are also local to your
    state.

    A glowing review from a flatlander. How quaint.

    It is quaint, isn't it.

    Flat yes. Boring no. I think all those rocks and dust particles have gone
    to your head. Come on over to the east and I'll show you around sometime.
    We make up for the lack of hills in other ways.

    Don't knock it till you've tried it.

    There wouldn't be much of a difference, if indeed you are referring to the
    Kikapu Deluxe, when you say "Deluxe". Same bike, just different components.

    Yup. I think it was the fit that fundamentally didn't do it for me.
    Then again, it came equipped with superwide handlebars, and that may
    have thrown me off more than it should have, even though I tried to
    mentally compensate for it.

    Anyway, after today's ride with the Klein, I am 90% sure I will get it.
    Just a matter of having them adjust the !@$!!@ drivetrain on this demo
    bike so that I can see proof that it will willingly shift from the
    smallest ring to the middle without a fight.

    I am looking for the VCD of Shannon, Jaime, and Destiny model. I am
    also looking for a more recent VCD of Shannon, Christina, Missy, and
    Stephi.

    Thanks for any help. Please email me at [email hidden]

    Yeah, maybe he could leave the video on the next time you peek in his
    window.

    Gee Ricky, what will your neighbors and the members of your church think

    They're a bit far for casual interest, but it's good to hear your
    endorsement. After perusing their website, I wasn't sure if maybe they
    were a little sketchy ... their built bikes list a price but don't
    specify the fork used, which just seems weird.
