Finally finished my new ride... a 2008 Kona Dr Dew with a few upgrades. I call her Artsy for short. She is my around town, go anywhere, commuter (well I only have a 2 mile commute), rolls smooth on our chipseal and forest service roads, and she's pretty. Love the disc brakes for steep downhills... and of course the wood fenders are just cool functional art.
What do you think?

what kind of bag is that? It is adorable? I wonder if I could find one in red plaid to match my school colors?
Thanks TE! You pushed me half way over!

Very cool bike!! I'd be curious to know how the fenders hold up - I've been drooling at them

Glad you like her.

The color scheme reminds me a bit of another beauty- the SweetPea Farmer's Market bike:

water bottle is a Klean Kanteen 27oz stainless steel. The only place I've seen the colored ones are at REI website.

That is one gorgeous bike. I'm very jealous, but you've given me something to aspire to once my bills are all paid off. Best of luck!

WOW! I love the color scheme and those wood fenders are about the coolest thing I've ever seen. I love the green and tan colors together. In fact, I'm green with envy!

Thanks, the fenders are made by Woody's Fenders in Bend, OR. He has so may designs it's hard to decide, but the "Artsy Fartsy's" were love at first sight. They are surprisingly durable and strong, I'll let you know how they hold up, but so far 3 weeks and no scratches, dings or dents. They work and are beautiful... functional art.

Whoa. I think Artsy is just beautiful! Stunning. And I never thought I'd say that about a 'mountain' bike! Originally Posted by Harley
