  3. Is that saddle what they called brown or gum? I may have the same one but itโ€™s hard to tell the color. I matched cork Ergon grip to it, they look nice.

  4. Absolutely Beautiful bike. I have an old lava dome I went pretty hard on but never could bring myself to add the rear disc tab. The G2s probably feel insane on this.

  5. This a truly wonderful build, and you should be proud.

    I’m still not a fan of the upright handlebars position, but if it works for you, then that’s great too.

    Fantastic machine. Something about hard tail Konas in that they always seem to have a โ€œrightnessโ€ about them. Good job. Great to just look at.
