Why are Konas so expensive in the UK? As far as the parts on the bike you get for your money you can get far more on other bikes. Is the frame really that good?

Well say the Kona Blast. Website says about £530 and thats about what I've seen them in the shops for. For £130 you don't seem to get much more than similar bikes in the £400 range.

you got it the other way around. £1 GBP = $1.79 USD

as for the cost of konas being high in the uk, it might be because of shipping and import costs (just a guess).

Yes, it is. Like when people post things that are completely wrong. For example, saying the US dollar is more valueable than the British pound.
