The bicycle is in Canada, so details may vary from the UK version.
It's a KONA Cinder Cone. Judging by the decals, it is probably a 1988 frame. It has a large K on the top tube. It is white with blood red splatter. The Fork matches the frame and is obviously original. The decals are all intact, including the TBG decal on the head tube and the Tange MTB sticker on the seat tube.
The frame is actually in very good condition overall. No rust. No scratches or dings. Chainsuck marks are minimal, don't go deeper than the primer. Horizontal(effective) top tube length is 22.5".
The components are:
Avocet saddle(no scuffs or tears)
Shimano XT seatpost (very good condition)
Suntour XCD gruppo, including brakes(Koolstop shoes), brake levers, shifters, front and rear derailleurs, cranks, pedals and hubs. All Suntour parts are dark gray anodized.
Rims are UKAI UM 20, and are in extremely good condition. They are not concave at all. Dead flat.
The Stem is a KONA original with internal cable routing. The handlebar is black steel, not aluminum. I assume it is KONA as well.
The tires are newer. Cheap Kendas. Bottom bracket is not cartridge type. I am not sure what it is. The headset is not identifiable either. It may not be original. The grips are cheap, fat foamy things. Who knows where they came from.
I am willing to part it out for the right price, but would prefer to sell as a complete bike.
Price? I know I am supposed to include a price here, but I really have no idea what is fair. I will overprice it just to make sure I don't give it away. I will officially ask 200 Pounds just to put a number on it, but reasonable offers will be considered. More photos are available upon request.
It will go to Ebay after one week.
