I have holes on my Konas that are off to one side on the bridges, I had the same fear but it was just a bit of surface rust. On one that was resprayed this was confirmed when stripped down.

Ooooo, very nice! And retina searing…

Looking awesome, so very yellow!

These came with maguras as standard so cable stops are correct, hence no dog collar

Prestige concept frame and the cranks are Shimano Deore MT60, it’s the 93 model when it went Ultimate and sugino

Finally made a bit of progress rebuilding after much cleaning, replacing missing ball bearings and sourcing replacement bits. Broken/missing brifters are now correct XT thumbies and DX levers. Chopped now O beam is a slightly later and slightly rough but full length Kona one and bars are later...

Worst pedals I’ve ever owned, no actual traction so slipped off them constantly with maximum shin pain on every ride!

Always wanted one of these, and particularly the maguras!

Sure is, just hiding away for the the winter months

Some bits do suggest that like the cassette - to get that built up with nastiness. Many of the bolts are tricky to get Allen keys in without a mallet due to crustiness. It’s going to be much slower than yours! Front hub was brown inside with missing bearings and could undo by hand, maybe due to...
