My max budget in £150 for the whole completed bike and as I'm new to the retro bike world I will have to buy all parts to complete.
Also my preference is for early 90's bikes.
Thanks Mark

Depending what sort of kit your looking for £150 might not get you very far normally orange frames and forks go for £120+ depending on condition model kona's not far off the same plus parts an old deore, dx, xt m730 groupset goes from anything from £70-£200 again depending on condition then you've got wheels stem post saddle tyres its cheaper normally to buy a complete bike but if you could save up too £200+ you'll more than likely get a nice bike that doesn't need new cables pads and parts (that soon add up quickly)

And welcome too the forum lose all hope of having savings in your account lurking here i used to have loads of cash but its all gone on shiney parts and niche frames i though oooww gotta have im now on a 4 bikes max from the missus

16" Kona Cinder Cone 1989 21 speed

I maybe persuaded to let this go............. Frame is ok-ish, its the Joe Murray paintwork. Paint has rubbed away due to cable rub on headtube, on bottom bracket and on rear chainstay. Forks are Kona P2 and are almost brand new. I built it up earlier this year. Has new seatpost, U brake, cables and bottom bracket. Running gear of a mid 90s Diamondback.
A great intro to the retro world

Here are 4 links to ebay auction that i have watched in assuming the Dawes was very cheap the orange and the red hahanna slightly below price and the cinder cone and blue hahanna ok or slightly over priced

Reading the spec of the orange ebay cindercone i now also think it was slightly underpriced.

Am I likely to find a tatty but complete 1992 or so Marin Palisades Trail or Bear Valley or a GT Karakoram or Tequesta for £150.
