    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Bit more progress over a pre-dinner beer. Cassette installed. It had some wear but did a wee touch up with a file. We'll see how it takes to a nearly new chain. Found XT shifters. Thought I had some. A bit sticky but not keen to tear these down. I just know I'd be chasing springs and tiny...

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Looking inside the Tioga Surefoot V. No bearings. Bit of a surprise. They seem to spin on machined bushes. It is either a very simple design with few moving parts or I'm missing something. Quite possible - is that really all there is? Degreased, regreased and spinning better.

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Mocked up the bike with a grey Race Light stem (1996 I think) and silver Race Light bars but it looked terrible combined with the black stem. So, it's black theme for bars and controls. And brakes. Black LX cantis. A dig through boxes found various front mechs including a Mountain LX. Very...

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Nice. Looks purposeful and very much for riding. I seem to remember when you got that frame you were wondering how it would ride compared with your Kilauea. Is that right? Any thoughts? I was really after a Kilauea but hard to find. I think I'd had taken fewer liberties with the build if...

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Some progress. Headset cups in using the usual precision technique of whacking with a lump of wood. Well, it's always worked in the past.... Couldn't get the top nut on the headset to catch. Investigation showed totally knackered threads at the top of the steerer. And a start nut in it! The...

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Bottom bracket in and torqued down. All good. Old garage psych on the stereo. Dug out the P2. Yay! Steerer is right length. Probably should have checked before. O well. All's good etc. Pondering brakes. Black LX cantis will go with the black LX hubs. But slightly tempted by the Arch...

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Thanks for that. Useful. Hoping to build it into something comfortable to ride, mainly using bits I already have.

    Kona Cinder Cone 1993

    Never done a build thread but will be asking daft questions along the way, so why not? 1993 Cinder Cone frame. It's got patina but I like that and it won't be getting new paint or decals. First daft Q: I have a 410 A to C triple butted P2 that I may put on. Too long. But I also have a 110...

    BoTM Bike of The Month November 2023 - "Rider Special" now taking entries

    Why not? Jonthefish's '91 Explosif is in regular use. Muddy pic from today riding back from the garage after dropping off the car. No build thread but had some help from folks on here along the way, so thanks all.
