An extra dramatic build video. It's over-the-top. Is it a dream build? I don't know. I hope you enjoy! 2023 Kona Honzo ST steel hardtail build. Other Honzo videos: • Kona Honzo ST Support the channel! thebikesauce.com/

That was a strangely satisfying video to watch, a montage of all the finishing touches on every installed component: dropping in the headset and spacers, screwing down the top cap, finishing the handlebar after cutting it, tossing the rag, popping the valve stem through... that bite into the cookie...

Yes Professor Sauce!!!!! Awesome build with that colour matching! I do the same on my Kona Rove but it’s orange and a mix of Hope and noname stuff

Nice, subtle build....love the simple color highlights. I personally don't like purple, but to each their own, but it looks good. I would have went with gold/yellow or maybe orange anodized parts. I added orange parts to my otherwise dull mat black bike just to add a bit of pop. Nice job on the Honzo.
@TheBikeSauce Жыл бұрын
Color is subjective for sure. I don’t usually go purple either, but it complements the green/gold frame well imo

@The Bike Sauce True, every rider has different tastes. Which is a good thing, or else cycling would look boring with everyone riding the same bike.

I also would have picked gold for the anodised bling / bike jewelry. Be that as it may, nice build. Love my Kona hardtails since I am old school. Cheers ;-)

Looks awesome! Those colors pop! The Wolf Tooth bling bits really contrast nicely with that frame color. I’m currently running that same Teravail tire combo but with CushCore and wider rims. Perfect for hardtail’s in So Cal!
@TheBikeSauce Жыл бұрын
The rims will be a concern. I’ve got trail wides on the Hightower but I’m seeing if the XC wides will do on the hardtail. I’ll address rim width in the bike check video coming this week

Cool vid. I dig the purple: actually, I have had two purple or purple accented bikes last few years, so...yeah. Rocking the same seat clamp and wheels on my SS HT =) Been looking into Honzo as a possible frame upgrade to my SS HT, and sliding dropouts would help, since I ride in SoCal, I've been spoiled with frames with capacity for two bottles... which leaves the Honzo ST/DL out, and I am gravitating more towards a Specialized Fuse or Salsa Timberjack.

Nice. Those 2 frames were ok my short list as well

I noticed you went with a size medium. How tall are you and how do you like the fit?
@TheBikeSauce Жыл бұрын
Sizing chart says I’m medium, but geo numbers actually suggest a small honzo is closer to my medium Hightower. Still, I went medium on the honzo, and with a 35mm stem, the fit is great.

@@RichardWisdom-jz9lc sorry bout that. I’m 5’8” on a good day. I’d probably go with a small frame, and go up to a 50mm stem if you feel cramped
