Kona Dream Builds: Kevin's Unit is Built for Go Rather Than Show

It’s been a while since I built my last Unit, but once I got on this one, it felt immediately at home. In my opinion, the Unit is the perfect all-around bike, capable of tackling IMBA epic trails or cruising local gravel roads fully loaded for a week-long trip. It’s compliant where it needs to be and wants to go as fast or slow as you desire. As a shop owner, it’s my go-to for everything.

Some build highlights:
- Unit frame  
- Columbus Futura Adventure fork  
- Son dynamo front hub laced to Stans Flow MK4 rims  
- Stans Flow MK4 rear wheel  
- Sram X01 shifter and derailleur  
- Sunrace cassette for its wider range (I prefer it over the SRAM version)  
- GX Eagle cranks  
- PNW Loam pedals  
- PNW Loam dropper post  
- Thomson X4 stem with Whisky Carbon Scully bars  
- TRP Trail EVO brakes  
- K-Light dynamo light with charging system  
- Zefal frame pump  
- Road Runner Burrito bag  
- Safety triangle
