Cove bikes. They sell either their own models (Cove) or Kona. www.covebike.com
I would be really surprised if they couldn't hook you up in some way. If not right away I am sure they can find something. You will have to go to the site, get the phone number and call. Their online purchasing has been down for months. They are stand up guys and very hardcore. They helped me in every way possible.
Best of luck
Also, have you tried Kona directly. They do deal with non dealers at times and usually have a decent backstock of product.

Bummer. I called earlier and they can't get their hands on a Hei Hei.
Turns out that Cove makes a ti hardtail called the "Hummer", which is essentially the same bike as the Hei Hei...but I wanted a KONA!
Oh well. If it's meant to be, one will come along.

Cove makes quality bikes on par (some say better) than kona. There designs ARE kona but made and stamped by Cove. ..
Sorry to hear that, if they can't help second hand may be it.

I had a very hard time to find the 18in Hei Hei. Finally found one in very good condition. It is now my pride and joy. The only downside is that I know I will never be good enough for her.
Check out the old skool M900 cranks!

You're Hei hei is looking waaay smart How are you finding the Avid Arch V brakes? My Mags are much much better than the LX V-brakes I used to have.
During that race the photo was taken at, by the last few laps, the prospect of cycling up the next hill was daunting...but the Hei Hei, floated effortlessley up them....I guess it goes to show that the bike can have alot of input into your riding ability.
Cheers
Rich
p.s. Can I use your photo for my collection of Hei Hei's on my website? Pretty please

If you can't find a Hei Hei, then go for the Cove....as Maelstrom says, it's the equal, if not better than the Hei Hei.
Just my 2p's

Hiya Rich,
Those are the Mrazek MOC V+ brakes. Very simple and few moving parts. And light as anything. Claimed 105gms (without pads). Almost half of the XTRs. Not tried anything extreme but it works pretty good for me. Same design as the Marinovative brakesets. Almost similar to the XTR in feel. Best thing is that nobody I know owns it.
Sure - use the photos. Also check out
https://photos.yahoo.com/bc/zeck_lim/...tos.yahoo.com/
for closeups and a better quality pic.
You would be quite familiar with the fork - Pace RC35 with the Titanium Stage 2 kit. Way sexy.
cheerios, zeck
ps. I will send you the "after" pics when I change to a rigid tomm.
