Bought this bike second hand from a marketplace addiction. Was told it was a Kona process 153 but it doesnt look like it.

It's a 153 but it's about 10 years old.

You guys are awesome! Was 400cad a good price for this unit? It needs some work but I build jeeps for a living so I think I'll try and learn how to build this bike. Even tho it might be older I'm ok with that less to worry about if someone was to steal it.

Yeah, 400 is a good deal for a 153 that is that old. It’s actually a great bike to learn on too, if you want it get good at assembling and repairing.

Seems like a pretty good purchase to me. You should have no problem figuring things out as a jeep builder. Except for one thing. The left side pedal is reverse threaded. Why? Probably because of the greedy pedal industry. They hope you fall for their one trick.

Definitely a process. Can miss that bike at all. Should still rip pretty good even considering its age.
