There's not much left to say about the legacy that is written all over the sport by the people who nurtured that brand for years. I have some lifelong friends who have either worked directly for Kona or ridden for the odd cog over the years so my thoughts are with them and the lunacy they inspired in all of us.
This moment is still burned into my brain ~20 years later.
