...comes in full carbon. Can't get my mind off of Kona's 2011 Major Jake.We've even displayed it in a spot that you can see from anywhere on the floor.
Let's take a look at this stunning beauty that's been turning heads since it came in the door:
First impressions:
Our Major Jake is a 53cm, paired up with a carbon Kona CX Race tapered fork/carbon steerer. The massive head tube has a 1-1/8" top and bottoms out at 1-1/2" - a nice cozy anchor for the fork.
Fork and head tube aside, the taper emerges as a total necessity if not just for extra strength when you consider the fat hexagonal down tube that's almost as wide as the BB30 bottom bracket shell.
Seamlessly bound to the flared 34.9mm seat tube and topped off with a flattened top tube (not that you'll need any extra help getting Major Jake on your shoulder), the frame heralds a whole new kind of stiffness for when you're cranking away.
Throw in some internal cable routing and warrior-like orange and white graphics on black carbon, and you've got yourself one hell of a frameset. We've weighed it in at a feathery 3.1 lbs (frame+fork). Don't worry, it won't blow away in the wind.
On the wall now in Chagrin.
