With the Bianchi Dolomiti, the introduction of the new retro Rauler in two models and this Kona that a friend is thinking of buying we might be seeing a resurrection of sorts in the industry. While Kona doesn't come with a lo ng history of making bikes, I believe this might be the first lugged bike t hey have made, it gives one additional hope for the future and the offeri ngs that might come. Do they qualify to be a KOF? I do like the discription of the bike: "New this year to the Kona Road program is the Kapu. A beauti ful, old school lugged frame that harks (yep... used the word "hark") back to when frames were meticulously crafted in only small batches by guys name d Giuseppe." http://www.konaworld.com/08_kapu_w.htm
