You should definately try to find someone with the same bike and try it out and see how it fits. Just whatever you do, do not go to a bike shop and test out the fit and ride of the bike then buy it off of the internet.

LowCel has the right idea here, and thanks for reading the FAQ. Perhaps you should try the 2006 model available now at your friendly LBS. Sure beats the heck out of buying on faith, especially on a used bike

Well then, ordering the 05 from Kona makes sense as they'll ship it to their local dealer for assembly. You could use the 06 to size yourself up and since the bike is going to be shipped there no harm as they have a co-op arrangement with their dealers (Kona is one of the few companies that sell bikes online through the home site)
