All sorted folks! Many thanks! Bring on the seat/wheels/other things and modifications and related joy....

:o So cool. Keithb: indeed I shall do something similar to those Mavic adapters...but possibly using mine/my fathers fabrication skillz as I am poor... did you have to deal with 135mm spacing for 130mm hubs? If so, which adaptation method did you use? I am, as you may have gathered, on the...

'taint the principle of the matter, its just that I could sell every spare bike/component I had and still not have enough money! sorry! best of luck with the selling! or fitting them to something....

SOME are 135 on the rear, some are 130. In either case, you can get round it especially with a steel frame. Irritatingly I havn't measured this and my bike is far away right now...but just finding out from someone... Will be a bit tedious if I find mine is a 135mm, but with wheels like that...

Are they 700c? If they are they should fit..or are the hubs weird? I am semi but not totally knowledgeable... ...and fyi this is precisely what I am doing! Looking for wheels like this to fit my frame (max size 27", min size 700c)....it throws up issues with the brakes, i.e you need to adapt...

O.O Just keep them and be kick-ass. I'm sure when I get some wheels for my mutant bike build I shall be deemed underserved....I'd love a set like these... O.O ...but am far to poor... :(

...well I wasn't originally going to use them for all the reasons already known to bikekind, but I have been charmed by the shininess...of the one side....:( !! They go with the (increasingly pretty) monster I am creating... Malc you have been PM'ed :) Eddie

Hi all - I'm doing a mad build project (normally on the MTB forum...) and have a set of narrow Raleigh drop bars, complete and beautiful apart from missing the right hand brake safety lever - see pics for the side I've got. Sorry for low res, old phone. They came from an old Raleigh Sprint...

Thanks everyone for great responses. Finally a wheel size guide I can understand! In addition to everyone elses posts, I finally understand the sizes better. Whether I go for 700c or 27" is purely probably going to depend on what is available and at what price....I'm happy to go for a decent...

As a typical noob I am flummoxed by bike wheel sizes and reaching frustration point. I am in the process of overhauling and customising a brilliant 1993 Joe Murray Project 2 Kona Hahanna mountain bike for fast road use (project introduction here...

ooo :o Thanks all. Its fun going to cycle shops as I always get positive comments on the bike! Will have another think about new tires for the short term. Also I shall keep an eye out for wheels. Thing is, I already talked about this with someone. I thnk my bike would look a bit...

Oops didn't spot this thread...I posted a topic! I have a Kona Hahanna Joe Murray from about 1993 probably, topic here http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=178633 want to find some parts/advice so I can convert it for speed on road (and convert back again as required)...my one and...

Not sure which section I should have posted in but I started a topic here for chats and advice http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=178633 Eddie (hi :) )

This is what it is like. Except mine has the JM wheels/tyres and a race light saddle http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=951658

Hi All, My name is Eddie, hi everyone. New here and looking for advice as I tinker with my wheels. I ride a Kona, as is the subject line, not sure how to designate the bike fully but it is a Hahanna probably from around '93, my parents bought it me new...it is one of those small steel...
