Many thanks, glad it’s been well received - such a classic bike, I have tried to be sympathetic to its origins with component choices

Thanks mate, I’m delighted with how it’s turned out. That said I’m going to extend the steerer a bit to bring the front end up a touch more to suit me a little better.Looks amazing, I bet you can't go in and out of a bike shop in less than half an hour with that lol. You've done a really nice tasteful job

After a bit of bother with the cranks on this I finally got around to swapping them to a set of SRAM GXP’s. Not sure I’ll keep them on this, but needs must so I could ride it.
Also managed to get the steerer extended so I could have a bit of a higher front end. The results of which have made it much better suited to the type of riding I built the bike for.
Here’s a reel from tonight’s spin into the city:

That fork is a great find - I thought by the time kona p2 had disc mount only the length was getting a bit long for the rigid-era frames, and I wouldn't want to put a disc tab on a pre- disc (quality) fork
