Thank you!
The front ring is only temporary. It's the 34t that came with the FSA Team Issue crankset and I'm using it with the 12-25 Ultegra cassette until later this week when my Q Rings 38t front ring and my new Ultegra 11-28 cassette arrive.

As far as street use, the bike is great. The fork locks out, the tires are't too terribly noisy and they don't slow you down much, and the geometry is comfortable for long rides (one of the main reasons I got the bike). The bike is actually pretty quick too. The only time I have issues keeping up with people is when I'm riding with people who have expensive road bikes. Otherwise, I'm usually one of the front riders.
I'd recommend the DS bikes to anyone. I wouldn't say it's a great replacement for a mountain bike, but it works for me almost in that fashion. Find a shop that carries them, take it for a test ride, and I guarantee you'll be happy with it.

Thanks man!
I spent the day on it yesterday and it's awesome! I sold my Ridley and Globe to only have one bike and this one does the job very well. I did a road ride on it Thursday and hit the rail trails yesterday and I'm very happy. Now all I'm waiting for to finish it is the 38t Q Ring chainring and the 11-28 cassette.

Thanks! Yeah, I've definitely been getting my moneys worth out of it. I don't keep track of my miles, but I've been on it quite a bit this year. I've been trying to cut back on driving, so I ride the bike whenever possible. Heck, even my motorcycle has been sitting in the garage more than normal.

Hello all, do I need to have a certain amount of posts before I can post pictures?

Been commuting on this 2011 Kona Phd for about a year. Got the bars a bit higher, put on Ergon grips and a Brooks saddle, and it rides just fine.

Here is a shot I took yesterday of my 2012 Fuji Absolute2 with my ride camera (Canon G1X).
