    Sold Mavic X221 wheels GT hub and LX

    Hi There, ive messaged a mate, I am building a polished alloy GT Zaskar for a mate, with that lx group. I would jump at these as they would look amazeballs..! He had said hope hubs, but he don't need hope! As I am not spending my money.. any chance of some reassurance on rim wear, apologies I...

    Recommend me: wide cruiser/ backswept handlebars please :D

    Glad you saw where I was coming from a real world mate of years, he did the same despite my advice and destroyed his too…! Only an old Scott I think it was but nobody likes I told you so. Sounds like a better solution.

    Early 90s Kona cap.

    Hah ha.. I know I am natural born hoarder, I have an original new sticker like that glow logo somewhere, and if I had the cap in my teens I would still have it.. I’ve several I did have in my teens… surf brands, and a collection of animal watches and though my mbuk went which I regret I removed...

    Early 90s Kona cap.

    Everyone needs to stop this, I barely wear caps anymore, and am resisting the overpriced pitcher jugs ive seen .. as no need or use for them.. but I want a cap now.. I wanted a kona thumbs up enamel sign for twenty years asked a few shops to sell me one.. eventually got lucky and got one brand...

    Recommend me: wide cruiser/ backswept handlebars please :D

    Is this a top tube mounted seat? as my friend ruined an avalanche frame with one, it creased into the top tube in use, as of course its the thinnest part of the tube I believe.. he bought a replacement zaskar frame, ignore if daft but just a concern that lightweight race tubesets are not...

    Why do we want rare, complicated stuff?! Amp forks kupput

    Wow what a lifesaver! Thankyou made my week.. I can use the Amp, no more dilemma or buying more bits to use different forks etc.. amazing. The firmer spring will be the perfect part, I will do a little drawing and send pm of thickness seat diameter etc just to make sure all will be well, and...

    Match for the weird pewter / bronze for Retro Kona front ends.

    My local one advised that small tubes may be difficult to analyse, and they are half hour away.. and I have had unreliable results with this alongside some reliable matches in the past.. so for this purpose the cost of doing this as opposed to spraying both in a propietary can colour and clear...

    Match for the weird pewter / bronze for Retro Kona front ends.

    Thankyou, I will experiment when I find the right stem, I will look into these colours, as a starting point. I don’t think I will face the expense of matched paint as my nearest is miles away

    Match for the weird pewter / bronze for Retro Kona front ends.

    Thankyou very kind, but I’ve a wonderful local panel shop, and they had a little tin of holts which I sprayed on some water pipe to compare with std light grey undercoat. The colour is not anything like either, and I think I am leaning towards the lighter more silver side… I am going to get an...

    Match for the weird pewter / bronze for Retro Kona front ends.

    The forks are more of mettalic bronze, the stem is more silver, the stem is brand new, the forks are tatty, so if that is a close match spraying the forks in this may be an answer, will go check this out.. thankyou.

    I just can’t help myself…

    Ive used the all black baldy cheap tyres on bikes to be sold, and tan walls on friends who just wanted cheap fix.. heavy but like I said actually smell of rubber.. unlikely to ever get a puncture, and fine in use so far. One arrived sent double eight, and would not untwist once mounted, polite...

    I just can’t help myself…

    they say better to have loved and lost, but not sure about that with a Hei Hei..! I am 26 years into Kona rigid ownership with my Kileaua and I would never sell that never mind a Hei Hei! Ive an Explosif too, and a Lava Dome singlespeed in build. A titanium frame of very similar geometry must be...

    Pace forks

    Not for sale any longer then? I keep thinking about the carbon Pace xc forks for one of my clockworks, but these look way better with the crown etc.. like the look of them. More of the old pace look about them. Nice.

    I just can’t help myself…

    I like that, its looks so comfy! I had them down as a budget catalogue nasty brand, they certainly featured in all the awful get your mum in debt catalogues in the early nineties.. but that must of been dying days or something as that looks really decent. I fancy an early uk mtb, but dont tell...

    Why do we want rare, complicated stuff?! Amp forks kupput

    I tried conventional low end suspension from rst ,and a short and very dissatisfying flirtation with the nonsense of cannondales headshox as a teen, and did not take to any of it, mainly as so heavy I preferred to ride rigid bikes.. I had a Whyte prst1 for a while twenty years ago because I got...
