I am selling my Kona Lava Dome. I bought this bike new in 1991. Since then it has had moderate use, mainly as a training aid and an alternative to running. At no time has it ever been abused or raced off road. Many times i have looked at other bikes and contemplated an upgrade but over the years i have become very attached to the Kona so i have always stuck with it. Last year i decided to spend some money and upgrade the bike as it was still running original components. £400 was spent replacing both derailures, bottom bracket, chain, brakes, handlebars, shifters, stem, seat post, wheels, hubs, tyres etc. I have tried to match as much as possible by using Shimano. Mainly Deore LX though some parts are Deore. I will detail the full spec below. The reason i am now selling this bike is that i have been offered the chance to do some off-road training. I will need a full suspension bike and i have no room to keep them both so finally the Kona must make way.
The condition of the frame and project 2 forks is fabulous. Yes, it has been used so there are minor marks but nothing more than you would expect. To be fair i would describe this bike as in excellent condition both from a cosmetic point of view and mechanically. The only real scratching is from a bit of chain suck.
