Shimano Bike

So what's it like to ride? well, we put in maybe a mile or two of riding so it's far too early to talk about durability and efficiency and things like that, but in terms of ride feel, make no mistake: this is a massive step up from the Alfine 8 hub. In fact it's such a dfferent beast that one of the most-asked questions at the launch was why Shimano has chosen to associate it with the eight-speed hub by giving it the same name; we didn't really get a good answer to that one, but we did get an honest one: "we're better at engineering than marketing", was one reply!

Well my screen name breaks down into two reasons why the name came about.

The first reason is because I owned a 1996 Kona Lava Dome mountain bike. It was bright orange metallic. 21 speeds. Complete Shimano STX group. The this day I miss that bike and have not found one as nice. So far it is the best I have ever owned. So that’s where I get the Kona part of my name.

The second reason is because I had a cell phone back in ‘99 that had the digits 0197 as the last 4 digits in my phone number and I like that number arrangement.

Replacement pads will campag cartridge brake pads Shimano meet my standard? they are similar and are much cheaper.

NO!

It is my brothers bike and he wants me to sell it because I ride a bike all the time (a house in the supine position) and he thinks I know something about bikes.

Craig's list is likely that you get the best price, eBay would probably not look more than a bike is not many are interested in.

I do not think it will sell this time of year .....
