Got a very early review of the 2008 Kona Dew Deluxe I purchased today. I took it on a 9-mile ride as soon as I got it home from Cycle Therapy, the shop I bought it from.
The bike performed well and I am impressed with the feel of it on the road and on paved trails. I had been riding a Specialized Hard Rock MTB around town and the trails and could only reach 15 mph on the radar gun by my house. On the Dew Deluxe, I reached 23 mph after a short sprint. The only issue thus far is that my chain needs to be adjusted as it leaped off the front high gear. Here are some pics.
I am looking forward to increasing my time in the saddle and putting this thing through its paces. Anyone interested in riding with a novice? Let me know.
