Kona
The 2012 range of Kona asphalt and city bikes are now here. These include the Dew, Dew Deluxe, Dr Fine, Round About and more.
We’ve got some details below about some of these models but we’ve got a lot more than this in stock. The best way to learn about the Kona range is to drop in for a chat!
Kona Round About
The Round About is a new model for 2012. The mixte style frame and the 1×9 derailler drivetrain give quite a sporty ride while still being simple and elegant. The swept back bars give a comfortable riding position but we can easily lower these for a more sporty ride or fit a higher rise stem and bars for an even more upright position.
Kona Dr Good

The Kona Dr Good was a super popular bike over the past year and the updated version ticks the right boxes again. The Dr Good is light and durable. The 7 speed Nexus gear hub minimises maintenance requirements and makes for a simple interface with only one shifter and only the gear range you actually need around town. There’s a mechanical disk brake up front and a hub roller brake at the rear. This combination gives good braking power and minimal maintenance requirements.
Kona Dew

The Dew is a great starting out commuting bike. It’s a hybrid: 700c wheels, V brakes, flat bars, etc.
It’s proven over the years to be a great value commuting bike. The 8 speed cassette (8 x 3 = 24 speeds) gives better drivetrain life than narrower chains and cassettes on 9 or 10 speed systems. It’s got mounting points for carrier racks, mudguards, water bottles and so on. It’s a serviceable and durable bike at a very good price.
We can reduce the width of the handlebars for a more comfortable riding position. Also, we can make a range of adjustments to the saddle, saddle position, pedals, stem length and angle and so on to make the Kona Dew fit you.
Check the Kona Dew frame geometry. Note only 45/52/56/60cm versions are available in Australia.

The Dr Good



I am looking to purchase a road bike that will be easy to ride.
I am not an experienced rider and don’t really know what I am after.
I like the look of the Kona Dew Plus and the Allegro Pista, though I am happy for you to tell me what I want.
I am 5’9″ or 6″ (183cm) if this helps
I want a quote…
cheerrrrrs…

Yo James,
The Dew range and the Allegro Pista are really different styles of bike.
The Dews are, in general, flat bar hybrid/city bikes with slightly wider tyres and fairly wide gear ranges.
The Pistas are a “city track bike”. It’s a fixed gear frame designed to balance a classic pista look and track style with the intention that it gets ridden on-road. It’s a fixed gear that often has brakes fitted. The geometry isn’t as tight as a track bike and the bottom bracket is higher. This means you get less toe overlap and less pedal strike on cornering.
My Pista build is listed at http://www.humanpowered.com.au/wp/?p=951.
For the most versatile bike for city riding, I’d suggest the Dew range could have some suitable models. Similarly, the current Allegro package deals are really practical city bikes.
Can you come in and test ride the Dew and Dew Plus and check out the Allegro specials at the same time?
Cheers,
Bill
