Thanks for the nice comments! I’m really enjoying getting this built up, I should make more progress over next few days. Is it wrong that I’m already thinking about the next build? I’ve got a pair of MAG 21s in the loft that need building up onto something....

More progress... Gil provided a set of replacement decals which I stuck on the Kilauea today. Not an enjoyable experience as you only get one shot at it! That said they make such a difference! I’ve also fitted the brakes, I’ve gone with Onza HO cantis along with a pair of Kona brake levers. I...

My ‘96 was a brilliant bike, I hope the ‘95 does it justice. I’m so disappointed that I can’t race it at Mayhem this year.

That safe is as big as my living room....

I like this a lot! The mechanic at the bike shop I worked at as a Saturday boy had one, I always lusted after it.

A small update on the Kona. Today I spent a bit of time on the paint, it’s been clayed (I had some clay bar left from when I did my car) and waxed. The paint is smoother and has a bit more lustre. I’ve gone with a silver Thompson stem, not totally period correct but I really like them and the...

Nice bike! I’m slowly building mine up after sourcing parts off the classifieds here.

Before I start a little about why I’ve gone with the Kona.... I started mountain biking in the halcyon days of the mid 90’s. My first proper bike was a ‘94 GT Talera which soon was upgraded with some purple anodised bars and a pair of Tioga Surefoot 6 pedals. I joined the RAF in ‘96 and before...

If Romanrios can’t find his I have one in the garage.

Re: Mayhem cancelled due to apocalypse I’m so gutted, I’m building a ‘95 Kilauea which was going to be my second bike for Mayhem.... my first retro build as well! It’ll have to be next year now....

PM’ed back.

Bumped and edited.

Re: XT M737 groupset. On the off chance that you split, I’d happily take the canti’s and brake levers if possible. Thanks!

Re: 97/98 Kilauea minty If possible and it comes to it could I please get dibs on the- Handlebars, Rear Mech, Shifters, Chainset and BB If the cassette, FD and chain are available I’d be interested. Thanks

I planned on using the Mag21 on my Kona but I’ve gone with a Judy instead. It’s silver with a threaded 1’1/8th steerer 156mm long. I fitted it but never rode it. The fork holds air and moves up and down as it should. It’ll be sold with the pump. There are some marks on the legs but nothing too...

I'll take it please. I'm at work this afternoon but will sort payment this evening.

I'm guessing 25.4?

Re: Kona Velocity stem, Racelite bar, impact headset I’ve got an Impact headset if you’re still after one?

Bought a pair of Judy forks which arrived very quickly and were exactly as described. More importantly there was even some Rock Shox stickers! Thank you!
