Sweet looking Kona you've got there matey. Nice, original & oozing soul 8) I also went to a car boot today but came across b*gger all :roll: Never do to be honest ! Steve.

Absolutely stunning ride. One of the nicest original bikes i've seen on here. Sets the bar very high indeed 8) 8) 8)

Here's my '98 Muni-Mula just finished (except for a few tweaks) 8) Cheers, Steve.

Right - here she is. Ready to rock 8) Completed yesterday and pics just taken. I always wanted this build to be a usable ride. Not too much in the way of fancy stuff just a good workman like bike: the sort of MTB I always wanted bitd but couldn't really afford. So i've kept the frame in...

Go on Nick & join my white Lava Dome gang - you know you want to matey :wink: Nice ride you've got there. Keep it rigid and a white powder coat will look cool and pretty tasty. Thanks for the comment re my Dome BTW 8) Cheers and look forward to seeing which path you take. Steve.

Evening bump !

Funnily enough, just after posting the above the postman delivered the last few bits :lol: So for the rest of the afternoon i've been fitting and tweaking in the kitchen. So i'm glad to report that the Muni - Mula is complete 8) However, it's pi**ing down here so can't take any photos...

Point taken re the headset. The cups on the Impact really need re-painting so will do that in the near future and then re-fit and see what it all looks like. The original Kona bars are just too narrow for me and don't feel comfortable. I prefer a wider feel because i'm used to risers to be...

Minor update ! Added the XT M739 crankset with KCNC black bolts, XTR front mech and Shimano DX pedals. Will have to come off again because i'm awaiting the arrival of a new bottom bracket. The current one fitted is a bit ropey :roll: Cheers folks, Steve.

Slight update ! Removed the previous KCNC bars and replaced them with the Bontager ones pictured. Probably more appropriate to era. Thanks to Deveron53 for these well travelled jobbies (he'll know what I mean :D ). Steve.

Hello all. Camelbak Rogue in blue. Bought in late 90s but rarely used hence excellent condition. 70oz bladder which you may want to clean/sterilize because it hasn't been used for about 8-9 years ! Fitting for pump, small top pocket, gauze pocket at bottom so good for shorter trips or mucking...

Yeah - but it comes with a box fellas :shock: :shock: :shock: Well worth it :lol:

Thanks for the replies chaps. I may invest in one of those tools because it's just taken a lot of huffing and puffing (& effing) to get it out. Had to drill out the thing at work :shock: It was a real sod to move. Now I need some new self extracting bolts ! Cheers, Steve.

Bought a nice set of Bontrager bars from yer man. After a bit of trouble with the Post Office they are finally here and fitted :lol: V.Good seller and a pleasure to deal with. Recommended 8) Cheers, Steve.

Hello all. Just tried to fit this non-drive XT M739 crank arm and as I tightened the self extracting bolt I managed to round it off (it was a bit rounded anyway :roll: ) . Got the thing off again with lots of cursing and brute force ! My question is, how do I remove the whole bolt from the...

Might as well put my '91 Lava Dome on this thread. Completed today :D See link below for details ! Steve.

Right, that's it ! Complete 8) Just finished a few small tweaks this morning. Took her out at the weekend for a test ride and can honestly say that it was lovely ! Everything felt just about right so dead chuffed. So here is the spec for my 1st completed Retro Bike build. Frame: 1991...

Out of the ordinary looking LTS ! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RETRO-1997-GT-tea ... 3f0057725b

Thanks chaps for the kind words, much appreciated :D Fitted the NOS XTR front mech so getting to the end slowly but surely now. Just trying to sort out the crankset which is a little difficult due to a slight shortage of funds at the moment ! I always wanted to keep this bike as a simple...
