kona paddy wagon

I picked one up, picked it for price & function as it'll be my everyday ride. It's a tank, sturdy & heavy. I've left both brakes on as I'm singlespeeding it for awhile. Decent components, the brake levers are nice being oversized & seemingly the same shape as campy brifters, nice comfy hood action. I got full fenders for it but I've only got the back on, my front fender came missing two bits of hardware and I almost got in trouble snitching them off the wife's Raleigh but I thought better of I'll just get some next time I'm in a shop. With full fenders it'll be a perfect everyday bike. It feels really....durable. and it looks okay, good colour.

It comes with Conti...I forget and it's downstairs, Conti something low, on sun rims, so the first flat is a *****, bad combo, bad bad combo grrr If I didn't have about a million plastic tire tools I'dve gotten mad and said to hell with the brand new unscathed rim and used my metal ones. That's the only thing I didn't like about it. I didn't even look at the tires in the store or I would've had them switched out then and there
