Just look for an old CrMo mountain bike on craigslist/whatever you have in the UK. SS it using the derailleur as a tensioner. No point in dropping a bunch of money on an entry level Kona just to throw even more money into it.
Anyone who tells you to buy a million dollar rear hub for a $300 bike is insane.
