Kona Jake Custom SS

Easily our favorite bike out of the many that we shot at last weekend's KNSCX race at Biwako this custom Kona Jake single speed...

Nothing really high end or flashy but tons of character...

And a genius single speed set up, next to this all other single speed set ups are utter shite...

Chiyo-chan wasn't as impressed as we were though...

They'll be lots more bikes from last weekend posted here soon. In the meantime a very happy Christmas to everyone...
