I recently got hold of a 1998 Kona King Kikapu frame which I kind of fancied from the past and intrigued by Kona’s take of the unified rear triangle type suspension that was bit of the rage among some manufacturers for a period. Unfortunately I think this model suffered from cracking chainstays...

Spotted this going for a good price price and couldn’t really resist. The frame was in good nick apart from a miss match of the running components from original factory spec but I had quite a few bits in the shed to bring it to life. I swapped out the Z3 Light Bomber forks which it came with but...

Due to lots of idle time on my hands recently and a few used Marzocchi forks in the shed with leaky oil seals or other issues I decided to disassemble them and see how they tick and hopefully further on replace all the seals along with fresh oil and get them operational again. Not the best pics...

Just posting some post Christmas ride pics of my recent build of a Sintesi Bromont frame from UK and converted to a Kona EFS with early to mid 90s style decals.

Nice pics of Roland's 97 painted titanium race frame on Kona World website plus also Kona's co founder Jacob Heilbron's 92 Haole ti road bike. http://cog.konaworld.com/roland-greens- ... eam-frame/ http://cog.konaworld.com/ti-tuesdays-jakes-1992-haole/

Here's a right beauty (ahem) but it'll ride like a camel - actually I've been on a camel and it'll probably be more comfortable!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVEGA-BIKE- ... SwbdpWaDYk

After searching and failing to find a 90's period Kula frame I managed to purchase the next best thing on the Bay - a 96 Kona Muni-Mula which arrived the other day. It's not pristine condition with the odd scratches on paint and decals, minor bumps on the top tube but it's original and a rider...

http://feeds.vitalmtb.com/~r/VitalMt.../iceman2058,94 Here's a classic showing 80's mountain bikers doing their "thing". Forgotten we had such classy safety kit back then and mullet haircuts.....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-Scot ... 5d4fdd35e9 Nice. I remember these back in the day and would have loved to own one (well any Scott from that period) with a Tomac disc rear wheel and a massive Kamikaze sized front chainring. Hate to think of the action of the suspension travel...

Just recently bought another Atala bike on Ebay this time from Holland. I think this might be the Super Touriste model from the 70's and probably the lower end of the range as it had non descript dropouts but has some nice lug work and brake cable routing through the top tube. Needs abit of work...

Whilst on holiday in London recently I went about bicycle spotting at the museums including a trip to the Coventry Transport Museum which had a good display of local brands.

Recently bought this bike from ebay and haven't got a clue what it may be. So if anyone can help it'll be much appreciated. It appears to be fillet brazed (no lugs), has a oiler screw nut for the bb, fluted double crown forks and wishbone style lower stays. The parts appear to be a mish mash...

Just recently returned from a trip to my home town in New Zealand and was digging in my storage boxes and found a few bits of gold from the 1990's when I was trying to break into photography in London. Right place, right time and I landed a spot as a darkroom troll in a small but top rate photo...

Whilst on Christmas holidays in Melbourne I managed to pick up this 1970's Atala road bike. The seller had a treasure trove shed load of bikes and bits - you could go ga ga for days looking for stuff in there. The bike itself once belonged to one of his relatives' and was in pretty good...

Here are a couple of vintage Nikon cameras I bought this year. A Nikon S2 rangefinder from 1954 and a 1960's Nikon F SLR complete with motordrive. Originally learnt how to take decent photos on a Nikon F camera before working in the photography industry for ages They weight a ton, simple to use...

Picked up this 1980's Centurion mtb minus wheels today. Don't know much about the brand except that US triathlete Dave Scott used their road bikes to win a few Hawaiian Ironmans back then. Gearing is all Suntour, AG rear derailleur, friction shifters and dia-compe lookalike made in Chang Star...
