Steel framed kona goes so well with project 2s, i'd stick them on personally.
Well, its been just over a year since I started the strip down and restoration of my bike, but it finally finished. Managed to get these pictures of the final result just before it started raining, Bike is safely inside now!
Thank you to all who gave advice on here, its been much appreciated.
