Hey folks. Started to tinkering in the garage again after a brief break and realised that all my spares and impulse eBay buys almost add up to a whole bike...too almost to ignore really, so I'm building up a chuckable 99 Chute. I was planning on using some 2000 Z4 Flylight Airs I had laying...

Hi all, Yet another new member here, near enough. Trying to get back into riding, and back in shape, after too long a while! As soon as I re-discovered riding I immediately looked into getting some of the bikes that used to be on posters on the wall ten+ years ago into the garage. After...

Hi all, '96 Koa buid finally coming together (woo! Only taken 2 years). It's a bit of a semi authentic job - drivetrain is new deore with schwalbe city jet hoops (she's gonna have an easy time of it as a commuter) and a handful of other new stuff. The forks and stem are contemporary with the...

Hi all, I'm just going into the last stages of refurbing my '99 alu lobo, about to send the frame off to Argos for a respray. The only hurdle I can forsee is that some of the linkage bolts are quite badly rounded off. I had to take it into lbs to get some of them out safely, they said I...

Thanks both for quick replies! Will wait on pics but like I say, I'm not too fused about colour as they'll be donating to one I've had for 15 years and need to get back in order. Prices will likely make the choice but failing that I'll go with Tinka, replying first. Thanks again! -Mark

Hi all, Had a quick search and sent a few enquiring messages to a few old threads but still reckoned its worth asking here. Has anyone got an old Crud DCD they might be lookin to get rid of? No preference on colour, just as long as the roller and bolts are in good nick. Thanks much! -Mark

Alright man, is the DCD still available? Cheers, -Mark

Alright man, has the DCD gone? Long shot on a fairly old topic I know. Cheers, -Mark

Hi WR, Cheers, but I've picked up one of Mousemat's stems and I'm really looking for the grey forks. Thanks tho dude. Cheers, -Mark

Hi Sylvester, She's a '96 Koa, not sure of the h/tube length at the mo but will be able to let you know after the weekend. Might be interested in the forks, should have an answer for you towards the start of next week when I get home and check measurements - however if another offer comes...

She's 16" But I've been riding with 4" of bounce for a couple of years, so a little extra height on a rigid fork might not be too bad? Think a fork from an 18" frame probably would be too long though. Cheers mate, appreciate the reply -Mark

Hi all, Trying to source a pair of P2s for my '96 Koa restoration. I was going to buy a pair of new black ones and get them resprayed, but if I can get hold of a pair of authentic threaded P2, even better! :) Any help appreciated, Cheers. -Mark

nooo! I'm doing up my Koa now! Whoever bought this, let me know if you ever want to get rid!

Hi all, Finally getting round to doing up my Lobo after pickin up the frame two years ago. Goin to get the frame resprayed by Argos and need to strip it down completely. It's a '99 alu Lobo 1000. Could anyone who's got one lend any advice / instructions that might be useful for removing...

I've actually had some decals from Gil, a 96 Kona Koa. Very very pleased with them, but I was hoping to go with Vinyls for the Lobo, just for a comparison.

Hi dude, Serendipitous? I've just finished putting together a set of these for my '99 lobo, in need of a decent printer though! Just need to get the size right and I'll send you over the .ai file. (Could send a jpeg proof first if ya need?). Like I said, I also need them for mine...

ooh, now that candy red might have wings. Perhaps something like this Harley? Maybe switch out the blue nipples for red, on a red hub...or would the inevitably slightly different shades just clash? Maybe a black hub? Grr The only thing that made me lean towards the blue is I may be...

Hi all, I've recently joined, may have seen me mention this elsewhere. I'm attempting to do up my '96 Koa with new kit. The only thing I'm not too sure about is what to do with the colour... I'm getting black Mavics laced to black XTs on black spokes with blue nipples (any suggestions...

Hi all, Name's Mark, from Wallasey. Not been riding properly for around six years or so, but desperate to get back into it. Currently looking at getting my '96 Koa overhauled and back on the trails..just waiting on the possibility of original decals from Gil at TheCycleShed. Question, are...

haha, rightio. Any recommendations? I'm based near Liverpool and have googled a fair bit but can't find any sources that mention experience with bike frames. I'm expecting Postage is probably my only option. Also, as an aside, what do you think to the overhaul I've got in mind. Looking at...
