That's awesome, I really enjoy seeing other light aluminium frames as they're engineering worth appreciating! I'm aware there is also a Kula Primo which is made of Scandium I think, so I guess that doesn't count. And not entirely relevant to this forum but the new Specialized Chisel is...

Thanks for the suggestion @KayOs that's a neat insert! Fortunately I've been able to get a shorter headset and stem which should give me enough stack height - I'll try the forks again during the week! And yes indeed @Panolgano - the frame without anything except derailleur hanger came in at...

Thanks @andym999 - I'll do my best to make it nice in the end I think you might be right @rigidftw ! I'll be looking for one that sits nicely with the other levers - this is being built to ride after all!

Haha yes I'm glad I didn't need to consider that! Thanks 👍

Thank you for the comments! I'm really enjoying the build - here's an update on fitting the dropper. It's a bit of a long post so feel free to skip to the photos! I've decided to try something a bit of a challenge and fit an internally routed dropper, because it will look more elegant than an...

Hi I'm a new member and recently picked up a lovely Kona Kula from Dom (@d8mok - thank you!) It arrived in great condition and didn't need much of a clean, though I did give it a nice polish and wax - for those interested in the detailing details there's info below. I'm going to put this...
