Current Pictures

Just posting some current pictures of the whole bike.

New Seat Post

I installed an aluminium seat post today.  It's a micro adjustable type.  I bought it @ ebay.  It got here fast, but it took awhile to clear Canada Customs. >=(

The seat post size for the 2010 Kona AfricaBike is 27.2 mm.

P.S.  This list will constantly be updated.

P.S.S.  I weighed it today (July 1, 2011) and updated this post.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 18, 2011:  The kick stand goes back on. =)

UPDATE JANUARY 18, 2012:  Weighed the whole bike with a digital hanging scale today.  Before I used a bathroom scale.  That was pretty difficult and not very accurate. The official weight is 15.19 kg or 33.48 lbs.
