Sorry people, I´ve tried all ways I know but can't get to see my picture. Anyone that can help, please?

Kona Chute My dirt/jump bike, 1999 Kona Chute with Girvin forks and top mounts.

Just fallen in love :shock:

Nice, I supose it´s a steel frame. It does look a bit flexy :( .

Merlin Newsboy for me please... I can still get a Retrotec but it´s just not the same, is it?

I had a 1992 Eldridge Grade and it was black with red/orangish back end. I think yours is 1993 model, also it´s the year that the new deore LX in black came to the market and the end of Deore DX.

Yes, 1991 sounds quite right.

That was MY dream bike when I started mountain biking, I had a magazine with a review that I kept for years. Nice bike yes.

With a 1" headset it must be pre-1992. I´ve got a frame from 1992 with the same dropouts, 27.2 seatpost but it´s got 1 1/4" headset.

Thanks, can´t really remember the original colours. Now it´s white with black decals.

I´ve got one hanging in the garage wall, I gave it to my son´s mum but she hasn´t bothered to take it yet. I didn´t think it could be considered as retro :oops: . My own bike is another Kona Chute but a more modern version, it´s original colours where green an black. Anybody knows what year...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: and I thought British didn´t have sense of humour.

Two of my old cycling mates opened what is now my LBS, I run a company car so not to bothered about the garage, my best friend is a plumber, my brother in law is a builder and my mums a solicitor. So I suppose it´s a matter of knowing the right people. If any of you come down to Malaga, and...

In Spain we use front left brake and right back brake, I´ve lived in Costa Rica and they have it the same as me, also in Argentina and I suppose all South América. I´ve also had a motorbiking background but I´ve got no problems when riding the motorbike or the bicycle even though the front...

ATAC stem 0º 150mm , big silver stem I loved it and it cost me a fortune for a 14 year old kid.

I raced an 857 (same year as yours) for some years including a few downhill races and although I´m sure it flexed, it wasn´t something that I noticed or could be worried about. Must admit the carbon swingarms looked much nicer than the aluminium and probably were lighter.

I´m 30, started serious mountainbiking when I was 14 so that´s more than half my life :shock: .

ok, I´ll check with my mechanic and give you an offer tomorrow. Un saludo, Leon

I´ve got a Cannondale frame (1 1/4), but the head tube is 170mm long (about 6.6 inches). How long is the steerer on your Manitou? I´ll be needing the lot.

Beautiful but missing the Girvin forks :( . I had one the same but in Spain it was sold Red instead of Blue. Enjoy it!!!
