Hi all, a friend of a friend was hit while stopped at a light from behind. Luckily he’s ok, but now needs a Medium Tri Bike.

Anyone in Kona have something??

Very sorry to hear that and glad he is OK.

Seen threads like this in years past and typically one of the brands on site (kona) will jump in and likely provide a better bike than the Op had originally.

Just tell him to sit tight for a day or two...someone will respond.

Cheers,

Go by the expo tomorrow and ask some of the bike brands if they can help. Cervelo has been extremely helpful in the past.

Very sorry to hear about this....I've seen a few near misses as well!
I know that QR will have bikes as well as others based on what the guys at TriBikeTransport said yesterday.

Hope they get something arranged!!

Thanks all. It wasn’t me, and I have passed the info on to him. Talked to Jeff Y, said Jimmy and Ventum would take care of him if still needed.

Yes, I would say check out QR. They let someone borrow a bike for IM Chattanooga after hers got stolen before the race. Not sure what they have on the Island, tho.

Ventum is the official bike course sponsor and they're there. I'm certain they would help him out.

if this opportunity arises i hope your friend jumps on it. yes, riding a new bike for 112 miles will have a challenge or two. but it's a bike that allows him to race, and a fabulous one. i test rode 2 sizes of ventum bikes last year in kona (and ended up buying/ordering one) and right a first i thought: gee---this really fits me and i bet i could ride it here if something happened to my (current) bike. and my own has ended up being very comfortable for me in races, so i'm pretty happy with it.
