1994 KONA Hei Hei - Titanium - Last Minute Suggestions?

Re: 1994 KONA Hei Hei - Titanium - Suggestions Please =)

Sooo... Made some decisions... The fork will be a Tange Struts... And the group is a full M900...

Just spent a good hour going over the frame with a couple 3M scrub pads =)

I decided to go threadless... the fork is in getting a new steer as I type this... should be ready mid week...

The stem will be a Race Face Ti stem I picked up from iveto1983 (Thanks!)

Went with am M900 crank with Race Face Ti BB and some Syncros Crank-o-Matics... I think this crank is supposed to have a 113mm bb but I could probably tighten it up to a 107... the 110 Race Face so good for now...

Question... I'm trying to decide what to do for the headset/hanger option... the brakes are m900 canti's so i need to have some sort of hanger... Two options are generic black or PAUL... the paul pictured is silver BUT I could get a black one if needed...

Headset options are Race Face Turbine or CK silver... I could get another one instead of these two... I also have a Race Face Deus Headset in silver that is basically EXACTLY the same as the Turbine one but silver I could use instead... Ultimatly I think it should be either silver or black... Open to any suggestions

See Pics below and let me know what you think... thx!

neither hangers. use a fork mounted on the Tange Struts.

Hmmm... that's an idea... thanks

If I painted it black it would probably blend in... but not sure as it's kinda bulky...

Assuming I go that route which headset would you use?

again, neither. i'd go with a pewter CK.

As soon as I asked that I already knew what you would say...

Ultimately I would like to go with a Ti Ck but they are just stupid pricy...

I just find that Pewter CK looks like purple... in a photograph the white balance makes it look like gray but in person it looks purple,,, but that might be just me

Like I said above, in a picture pewter looks gray but in real life it is purple, also your pewter one is faded =)

Yup, nothing wrong with pewter, it's more of a personal preference =)

So... Assuming pewter is out... Black or silver? =)
