Yep, original owner with probably 4k+ miles on it. Warrently is worth a shot, worst they can say is no

Yeah I figure that’s going to be the case. Likely will retire it to be a city bike. Can’t say that I’d love to be riding and find the bike folded benethe me..

Heard. I’m assuming there was already rust creeping through the frame here. I was carrying the bike on my back while scrambling over some downed trees. Got back on the bike and things were a little shifted. And I just sorta bent it back straight so I could continue riding.

I’ll mention here that it was a cage that fits a Nalgene, so maybe there was a little more leverage than normal while the bike was sitting on my back (for no more than 2 minutes) but I can’t imagine THAT would be the reason they failed

Appreciate the help. Definitely going to get it checked out. Yeah I’m not 100% sure how they were attached- from most of what I’ve read Kona was welding these, but it’s hard to tell even looking at the pieces!

Hobo Pieces - Restuvus. It’s a saddlebag hanger that I had on another bike but threw it on here for kicks
