Thanks I'll get poking and blowing right away.

I'm about to strip down my Kileauea so I can put some Frame Saver in it. Problem is the seat stay bridge is full of crud inside (there's a 5mm hole in it for mudguard or some such fitment). Has anyone got a good method of getting into tricky areas to clean?

HoHo What thumbies are you using on the Fat?

Awe inspiring. Plenty more similar stuff here; http://www.handmadebicycleshow.com/index.html

Wasn't the Mustang called Eleanor?

Getting my '93 Kileuea back from my brother and getting Argos to paint it Audi Gunmetal Grey before lavishing it with Royce hubs, Middleburn Duos, Salsa stem etc (as long as I win the Lottery). Getting fit for the Etape Du Dales in May. Finding a niche at work so I don't have to go back to...

80mm or 100mm I think.

They're '04 Marathon S. I think the next year they turned into MX Pro ETA's. Not the flashest of forks but I don't reckon I need Pro Pedal et al, and they're totally reliable.

That's mental. Nice job.

Please tell me that this isn't a secret cricket forum. To make matters worse my garage radio can only receive Radio 4 on LW and now it's full of bloody cricket.....bah, humbug.

Mike That garage is a mess. I'll do you a favour and keep the Blade running over Winter (Kwak as well but just cos' I'm a nice guy). P.S. My Bandit 's in storage for the Winter (not normal practice but the new kid means I'm confined to the car) do you have any tips for bringing a bike...

Thanks for the advice. I look forward to seeing your frame in the future.

Patagonia-makes me dream of panniers and dusty tyres.

Has anyone got MTB Pro No. 3 (I think) where they reviewed the Kona Kileauea. I'd love to see a scan if possible.

After the above for my road/commute bike. Anything considered as long as it's cheap/free. Thanks

I'd definitely have one.

Grimtech I've got a Hope Ti hub with five arm carrier and 155mm rotor, built onto an X317 Gunmetal rin with DT double butted spokes. I used it with exactly the same fork set up as you and I'm just trying to find a picture of it on the bike to provide a steer on fitment. In the meantime, here...

Congratulations on the purchase. I suppose it all depends on what other bikes you have in your stable. My '97 Hei Hei is my only bike so it gets all the modern kit.

I can't agree that they're selling out. The guys behind the company have been at it for a hell of a long time and probably want to enjoy a well deserved 'working retirement'. It's easy to call someone a sell out when it's not your money/business/work, life balance in question.

Russell That's just the ticket, thanks a lot. If anyone else has suggestions please post as I'm really enjoying looking at all these niche frame building sites.
