And I thought konas couldn't get any uglier!

They really need to get some new designers, there current lot seem to be visually impaired.

I disagree. New Stinky looks hot. And proper tripple chainrings too, none of this bashring rubbish.

Nick_K = Fail.

I was atually talking about kona whole range rather than just the sticky.

Some of there colour choices are terrible and that stencil logo is bloody disgusting.

And before you have a go at me for bagging kona I'll just say I own a kona.
