Is it as simple as- Purple = ‘94 Black = ‘95 Orange = ‘96 Obviously I know the font changed when they went from purple to black, but is that it, it’s just as simple as the year breaks? Both the frames in question are nickel finish of that effects the answer.

I’d also managed to get distracted and buy another bike. It was being sold by a friend of a friend locally and was too good to pass up. It was too small but it was well priced so I convinced myself to give it a go. It was well specced and really nice condition. The satin finishes kona where...

That’s fine, just wasn’t sure if it had gone missing. Yes it’s 25.4

I didn’t get anything, did you change your mind or has it not come through?

There’s a few frames with similar/the same bridges, and maybe 3-4 manufacturers I’ve found that seem to use the same dropout too. The thing I think that will get it is finding one who uses those details in conjunction with the rivetted cable guides. These really seem quite rare and only used on...

To be honest at the minute I’m struggling to say much else about it either too! 🤣

It was actually up in stowmarket but not too far. As a parts bike it’s great, I’ll use the forks on one bike and the groupset on another. I can’t help the nagging feeling that the frame isn’t just some no-name junk given the parts Hung off it, but it’s gunna take the right person to see it to...

Hi, if you are going to break could I register interest in the frame/rigid fork/original stem/use seatpost as a package please.

Edited.

SOLD. Specialized flat bar, black, marked ‘made in Italy’ and 580mm x155grams. One slight rub above l/h logo otherwise pretty much perfect. £40 SOLD. SOLD. Near mint XT seatpost. 27.0 Logos perfect, no scratches or wear above limit line. Bolt rust free. I honestly can’t see you finding better...

I bought this unnamed bike because of the parts on it. It’s had a fairly poor repaint, but It came with ‘94 rc35 Kevlar, and a full 93/94 lx groupset including hubs, in mint condition. It’s got specialized x23 rims and specialised bars, a no name cromoly quill stem, and a XT headset and...

Yep I have a use for that. PM me your payment details.

I can’t quite convey how much I hated those forks on that bike. The mrs didn’t mind them, but it was mostly because she knew no better, the ones on the Jack having been nearly as bad. They just affronted me each time I looked at it! I had some searches saved for 1” steerer forks, and most of...

Length?

It was at about this time I got massively distracted by other bike projects (not to mention the 10 cars, motorbike or two, and two houses) and although I fitted up all the parts I’d bought, I didn’t take any pics of it all fitted and now the bike is at my other house 150 miles away… But the...

More eBay purchases got me a pretty tidy wheelset. ‘96 XT parralax hubs in mint condition, with a corresponding XT cassette fitted that looked brand new. The skewers were also perfect, and they were laced with DT Swiss spokes to mavic 230sbp rims, with the nice little touch of purple nipples...

Once I got it back home I took some more pics. It’s obviously been well used, but looked after fairly well. It’s got a lot of paint chips in the usual areas. but someone’s touched them all up before they’ve rusted. I love the details and badging on Konas of this era, especially 94-96. Some...

Thanks, I’ve posted on there but I think any issues are endemic to this particular software. If you’re used to it it’s Proably not so bad, but compared to every other forum i use it’s hard work.

I’ve just come back to this forum after a while, I used it briefly on the old software and found it hard work, tbh this new software is also tough going. I use a few other forums, mostly car related, and none of them have software as counterintuitive or hard to use on a mobile as this one. This...

God this forum software is awful. It’s almost as retro as the bikes 😂 So the pics were pretty bad too but showed me enough. It’s an honest enough bike, lots of paint touch ups but no real damage, and a few components downgraded with newer stuff, presumably to keep it working. The STX-RC...
