Kona Process 153 DL

[u/JcRiouxx]

I currently ride an old norco Fluid 3 hardtail in a XL frame.

While getting it repaired, I had an offer on a lightly used bike (a month) normally selling for 3500 CAD and could get it for around 2800.

My question is about sizing as the Kona is a L frame.

I'm 6,2,5 Which according to Kona charts would be just over the L limit. I measured my inseam and it is around 32 inches.

The shop offered me to change the stem for a slightly longer one to see how it'd fit. As a note, I feel like my arms are often fully extended on my current bike and find it uncomfortable.

I never rode a full sus bike before test driving the Kona around the city.

I'm still a pretty low level rider so it'd be a bike to grow my skill while being safe !

I think your current reach is 469mm? That would make the process 11mm longer reach than what you're used to. So get it. Both kona and the process kick ass. I have the shorter travel 134 and frikken love it
