    So the plates are thinner but the gap between them is the same?

    Chain compatability

    I need a chain to finish off my retro build and have always been a fan of Sachs-Sedis (so now SRAM) over Shimano. I'm struggling to find a decent quality 7 speed item though; will an 8 speed PC870 work OK?

    1994 Kona Fire Mountain restoration project.

    I've just boxed the bike up ahead of next week's house move, so thought I'd post an update as I've not done one in a while. I finally got the headset and BB fitted and couldn't resist a quick mock up with some of the parts I've amassed thus far. Rough plan for the final spec is as follows...

    Stolen dream bike found 26 years later? Fat Chance (TC)!

    Re: Dream Bike Stolen - Found 26 Years Later? Fat Chance (TC)!!! Amazing story, so happy for you. You never know, I might one day drop across my stolen Kona (although I somewhat doubt it would be badly disguised as a Fat Chance!)

    Charge Splashback 1.8" tyres quick review

    Holy thread resurrection, Batman! Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd use this one. I'm looking at a pair of 2.1 Splashbacks (used, as they don't seem to be available new anymore?) as a stop-gap until the wallet allows me to get the re-issue Smoke & Dart that I actually want. Does...

    Kona's page

    Just in the process of transferring my pics from Photobucket to Flickr and came across some of my past Konas. The Fire Mountain was my baby, a 1996 model bought new in late 1995 and stolen in 2011. The Caldera was bought as a replacement but, despite sinking a few hundred quid into the Hope...

    Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech 2070 question

    Re: Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech question This is probably a good start point http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/M ... e/Raleigh/, but there's loads of Dyna-Tech fans out there. And yes, certain Dyna-Techs were available to buy as framesets.

    Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech 2070 question

    Re: Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech question Gil is a member on here but runs a company called Retrodecals (also on Facebook) and can accurately reproduce decals for pretty much any bike you can think of. As to the value of your bikes, that could vary wildly according to condition, spec and size...

    Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech 2070 question

    Re: Cannondale sm 1000 dyna tech question If you want the 'best' groupset then it's hard to look past M900 XTR, it really is incredible kit. If it has to be 1990 though, then you're looking at either 730/732 era XT or Suntour XC Pro. Decals? Gil, every time.
