The only oddity is that your hub won't take a cassette with a smallest cog below 12T. You need to swap the freehub body to a later one (like 7s STX) to take an 11T cog. Thanks all! I will check how many teeth the cog has.

I recently bought a 1991 Kona Explosif. Sadly it is in rough shape, with a hodge podge of parts and it is a size too big. For $50, I can't complain too much. :D Luckily it came with a nice matching XT m730 wheel set. I am planing to put them on my daughter's 1992 Kona Hot to replace...

In the States they are getting popular with the gravel craze. People have been replacing the flat bars with drop bars. I have been looking for one myself. Locally nice gravel bike won't be available to 2022, so the demand is there. Bike flippers have them about the same price or a little...

I see a few places that are selling 1995 kona Hot decals, but I don't see anyone with the earlier style. The bike that I am building is a 1993... Anyone know where I could find some?

I have a small 1993 Kona Hot.. that I am building up for my daughter... looking for a threaded 1 1/8 headset. Something like a Ritchey or Shimano XT.

Have you figured out your size? Fit is the first thing you look at. A nice price bike that is not your size I definitely wouldn't buy. Test ride bikes if you get a chance. Bring a tape measure. Learn how to measure bikes. Once you know your size, people can point you to good deals...

No, not at all. There are different gauges of 531. Some are double butted, some a straight gauge. On some frames the main triangle is 531 and the seat and chain stays are of another steel. Also, how clean the welds are is important. During the bike boom years, many companies...

Re: What the fork!

up... does anyone need a beautiful front mech? If not it will be going on fleebay.

I would try to center the headset, so the Ritchey logo is at the center

I like the color... do you happen to know the RAR code for that green?

I don't like carbon bikes, I don't like black parts. But I love this bike! :D

up... got pictures on flickr

I picked up a beautiful Shimano XT front derailleur (FD-M735 30.0) at a shop in Japan. Doesn't look like it was mounted $30 USD or 3,000 Japanese yen shipped via small packet (from Japan). I can take paypal. I can send it registered for an additional insurance $6.00 or 600 yen. I...

About a year ago, I was cleaning a front derailleur that came from my bin and I think this S shaped clip came loose from it. (It is next to the derailleur in the picture) Tried looking on line to figure where or and how I can put it back, but with no luck. Is it possible it came from a...

I am looking for a Raleigh-SunTour V-GT Luxe rear derailleur. Many times they come with the mounting tab (the claw). The frame that I would put it on doesn't need one. If I find one with a claw, are they easy to remove? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1976-Raleigh- ... 1239053799

Nice pictures. I wish I was there, instead of at my desk.

Looks like a good project, those parts need to be shined up and cleaned. Many sellers in the US want 1,000 to 1,200 for them
