In case you were wondering, pink is IN!
I mean just look at this bike. A 2017 Private Jake built for both style, and comfort. Kona enjoyer John Langrish built this bike up and had some words to say about it:
"I test rode one at a bike shop in Vancouver on a whim, and kept thinking about it afterwards. It became the first bike I ever bought on impulse - I already had a road bike, a mountain bike, the Jake the Snake. Did I really need the Private Jake as well? Of course!"
This bike looks good from every angle.
Pink Tires: Hot? Or not? (Correct answer is Hot)
The Gemini RIGEL 42T chainring is a true standout
A tidy cockpit with Karoo Hammerhead to keep an eye on ride stats
Bike leaning up against something. A classic bike photo scenario
The Private Jake in its element: Out in public.
The SRAM Force XPLR groupset covers the shifting duties
Tubeless ready AND adventure ready? Hell yeah.
