Kona's LBF: Legend of Big Fork
Essentially a mountain bike with drop bars, Kona's new LBF features a steel frame and a 100 mm travel fork. Said to be "built for riders who push drop bars way past their comfort zone," the LBF mates a custom pairing of SRAM Apex Eagle levers and G2 4P calipers to "deliver MTB-level braking control — without sacrificing drop-bar comfort." Its geometry is decidedly mountain bike, with 67° HTA and 75° STA, yet corrected for drop bars and optimized posture. Pricing is US$3,699. [Kona Bikes]
