2012 Kona Honky Tonk – Fully Overhauled & Resto-Modded

This 2012 Kona Honky Tonk has been completely stripped down to the frame and rebuilt from the ground up with fresh components and thoughtful upgrades — a true resto-mod ready to rip city streets, crush long commutes, or cruise weekend rides in style.

Highlights of the Build:

Frame: Original Kona Cromoly Butted Steel, treated inside with Frame Saver for long-term rust protection

Cockpit: Surly Terminal Bar handlebars for upright comfort and control, paired with black ESI Chunky grips

Shifters: Microshift Marvo LT 2x9, reliable and smooth for everyday performance

Seat: New Selle Royal Royalgel

Brakes: Shimano Tiagra flat bar road levers matched to caliper brakes – responsive and easy to modulate

Drivetrain:

Fresh 9-speed chain

New 11-30T Shimano Sora cassette

Hubs overhauled

Headset: Brand new FSA headset for crisp steering

Tires: WTB Expanse 700x32c tan wall tires – supple, fast, and grippy for mixed urban terrain

Tubes: New Teravail Presta Valve 700x28-35 tubes with sealant

This isn’t just a rebuild — it’s a modernized tribute to a well-loved steel frame, offering a comfortable, confident ride with updated reliability and style.
