    Kona Hot Serial Number List - update 16/09/24

    295 already listed, but looking green rather than turquoise, though no shot of the frame number. Rear dropout can be seen: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2191533164346001/permalink/2809139025918742/? https://www.facebook.com/groups/2191533164346001/permalink/2809139025918742/?

    kona P2 AC lengths and threaded to threadless questions

    Wiser people will no doubt come along later, but I bought some aftermarket P2s in late 2002 that were 410s. Visually, I think the first ones with longer a2c had the (in my eyes) ugly adaption with about an inch or so of steerer below the crown race, so way above the natural join of the fork legs.

    There's someone out there killing bikes

    Seems a lot for a slightly shabby set of Z2s, even with M739 shifters and brake levers, plus the DT Hugi wheel. Though does give me an idea for storing my currently unused forks. 🙂
