    Wanted Project two approx 425mm A-C long steerer

    Same here. I need a specific Kona dropout, and (stupidly) didn't order it a few weeks ago, when the shop was still online. :rolleyes: I hope the shop returns in some form, and also that the old stock and spares that they held (as the UK distributor) is made available again through whoever is...

    Wanted Project two approx 425mm A-C long steerer

    Out of interest: What bikes used a 440 mm Project Two? (it doesn't help that Kona named numerous different forks all "P2" for decades :rolleyes:) I have a 29er P2 (original to the bike, and in use - sorry) and that's only 435 mm (axle to crown).

    This guy takes no hostages-M900 NOS/NIB craze

    The advert states that only some components are NOS (unused). The same seller is also advertising a pair of M900 hubs. And a seapost with XTR "sticker" (but which he clearly states is some unknown brand, and is not claiming that it's genuine Shimano/XTR).

    Kona A'ha Stars & Bars 1997

    Regardless of Kona's catalogue info: There are some A'has smaller than 18-inch (presumably they're 16-inch?). Easy to identify from pictures because the lower end of the KONA logo decals (K on the drive side; A on the non-drive side) overlaps the white scallop or "bars" sticker that occupies...

    For some extra-nerdy viewing: Just last week, Blue Lug bike shop (Tokyo) posted an entire video about the various Dia Compe levers. (auto-translated subtitles available in the settings).

    BoTM BoTM May 2022 nominations - Kona Special, dedicated to the memory of @pipmeister

    Haha! 😁 By "ignore the background Humu", I meant that it shouldn't be considered as a second "stealth entry" for this month. :cool: Thank you to everyone who's [liked] my A'ha post.

    BoTM BoTM May 2022 nominations - Kona Special, dedicated to the memory of @pipmeister

    What a great idea. And there are some beautiful bikes posted already. My bikes wouldn't usually make the grade for BOTM. But I'd like to contribute to this month in Pip's memory. So here goes, with something a bit weirder than the previous entries: DM's 1997 Kona A'ha Cruiser. I'm not in the...

    1995 Kona Humuhumu-Nukunuku-A-Pua'a

    Humus are fantastic (and under-rated) bikes. I have: The same 1995 Humu (love the looptail rear end, the slack seat-tube angle, and the low bottom bracket); A 1997 A'ha (with curved toptube and the stars & bars paint); A 29er Humu (made for two years, in 2015 & 2016). And I previously had...

    1961 Raleigh superbe (Helio)

    It's nice to see a thread on here about these bikes. I also have one (196x?, based on the Dynohub date). Rod brakes, too. I haven't seen it in ages; it's stored at a friend's house. But it's on my "must save" list for the future.

    Cook Bros Crank Spider Part

    I don't think the spider can be removed from the early "dogbone" style Cook's cranks (or not easily; or not without potential damage). The spider can be changed on the later E-series.

    cook bros crank

    I think I have an new/unused spider somewhere. Not sure about the bolt pattern, though. Actually, I don't even know which series crank it's for. It might not even be for the E series. I'll check... Sorry -- No go. Looks like it's the old 5-bolt "standard" MTB spacing (110 mm) rather than...

    Import duty on a frame from the States

    What really annoys me is when bike companies produce an item in the far east, but then ship everything to the US before redistributing to the EU and elsewhere. It just adds delays, doudle-taxation and shipping, and a lot more air-miles / carbon emissions. Perfect example of a frame that I'm...
