2002 Kona Blast 16.5"

Purchase Date: Sunday March 2, 2003
Sell Date: April 8, 2005

My Kona was a good bike. I learned many things from it and it tolerated the mistakes I made. It was there when I learned to bunnyhop and it was there when I first pedal-kicked. We survived two seasons of intensive riding and and we know each other's mechanical quibles.

Alas, all good things end and the two years that I had the Blast for came to its end. Ride the bike in good health Brianna and take care of my Kona.
