New 2011 Kona Unit out. It is in pretty white on black. They seem to have ironed out a few of the Unit flaws from 2010, how obsolescence is fast even in the biking world and even for a simple bike such as this one. They relaxed the steep head tube angle, which, to me is a good thing, the 2010 Unit I’m riding feels like I’m right over the top of the front wheel, and as such, I’ve done a few catapults over the top. So the stability that comes with the relaxed headtube angle and longer top tube is compensated with a shorter chainstay length for agility. But other than that it stays pretty much the same no-nonsense bike that is pretty affordable. It also looks a bit nicer. They’ve got a round stem instead of the blocky one on the 2010 that better matches the thin tubing of the steel frame. And overall the geometry looks right, it’s more balanced. -- source link
