2012 Kona Kahuna 650B Conversion

This is my 2012 Kona Kahuna Hardtail Build. Originally got given the frame and was told it was probably a 27.5 frame, bought the 27.5 fork on Jenson for $200 before finding out it was a 29er frame. Just decided to send it anyways and throw some really beefy tires on and figure it out. Tons of fun to ride at least for me, excited to put a ton more mileage on it.
