Re: 1990 Kona Titanium - Merlin Mountain content

The wheelset is built and ready to go, with XT hubs laced to silver RM20's and a 12-28 7 speed cassette. The icing on the cake is the amberwall Maximum and Reaction tyres in great condition. Finding the tyres was a mission in itself but I felt that the build would be pointless if I didn't have them

KUDOS...., for finding those mate. :shock: Im in Awe. I had feared these tyres would be the missing part of the puzzle, Im chuffed you found some.

This is epic. & Ditto the comments on the tyres, pivotal part of this build.

I had to buy a mint, complete bike to get my hands on the tyres but, as they say, you can't make an omelette...........

Well in that case i Bow to you as well sir. That really is wanting to build a bike properly and pulling out all the stops to do so.

Fair play fella. I do like a bloke that knows how to do things properly.

Re: 1990 Kona Titanium - Merlin Mountain content

awesome project! As said before, the purchase and find of those very cool tires says it all.

Anyone who can tell something about the differences of this fork compared to the project two? Riding characteristics and weight for instance?
