Kona Kapu

[cmg]

Has anyone ridden a Kona Kapu? the geometry has a really slack seat tube and head tube angles. Local shops don't carry it. road bike action reviewed it awhile back, gave it good reviews but what items don't they. http://www.konaworld.com/08_kapu_w.htm.

I'm looking at that too. I think the slack angles are cool, but it makes you wonder what they're thinking when they lay back the seat angle that much AND give you a seatpost with extra setback. Really. And, I would like it better if the chainstays were a bit longer. . . I like it that they give you eyelets for fenders, but it would prolly be too tight with those stays.
Still, for what it is, it's a really pleasant surprise on the market.
