A commuter to some. A quality “Fishin’ Rig” for others. Folks, meet Jason’s Commuter AND Fishing Rig: the 2017 Kona Humuhumu! A bike he’s owned since it was new, and has taken it through a couple of iterations over the years. The latest iteration of this bike is particularly special as Jason just finished doing a full re-paint in a cool-as-a-cucumber sparkly mint!
For those who always ask, “OMG, WHAT COLOR IS THAAAAAAT?!?!”, here are the official specs:
Base color is https://spraybike.us/collections/all-colors/products/milan-celadon-2-400ml and finished w/ a gloss matte coat that sparkles!https://spraybike.us/collections/keirin-collection/products/keirin-flake-hibana-blue-200ml
And we’ve got the full build spec on this mighty fine bike:
- -equipped w/ kona unit x plus fork
- –wheels are DT swiss 350 hubs laced to astral serpentine rims 28hole F&R-wrapped w/ maxxis recons 2.8 front and 2.6 rear complete w/ cushcore pro
- –drive train is 1×11 sram GX w/ shimano xt 11-46
- –brakes are shimano xt w/ 180mm rotors
- –cockpit is Surly sunrise bars clamped by an Odyssey TL48 stem and ODI longneck grips
With a laid-back style, and smooth steel frame, it’s an awesome bike for tracking down that secret fishing hole. An added perk of the second top-tube? A spot to strap on a second fishing pole. Keep a careful eye out in the early mornings and your likely to see Jason and his Humu down by the river trying to catch a little breakfast.
Was that a rattle can paint job??? Looks terrific.
