1997 Kona Cinder Cone Disc conversion

Thanks for the positive comments, I was nervous chopping it up lol. A company I’ve used before can match powder coat so I’m going for original colour and I believe Gil on here can supply the decals so it should look stock, ish lol. I’ve got a pair of marzocchi z2 bam forks that would benefit from a respray so I might do those lowers in yellow with fresh decals in keeping with how I got it.

If your Hahanna is anything to go by, this will be sweet.

Good job on the welding and smoothing

Thanks for the kind words, it is appreciated. Another caliper that seems to fit is a Hope C2. I can see why the next gen were called the Mini. I think I prefer the Mini….but the C2 still works, has good parts availability still, levers/master cylinders look cool and it would be different to the Hahanna. I think I’m talking myself into C2’s

Back from Triple S powder coaters and not quite the colour match I wanted but as soon as I saw the Bentley blue I couldn’t resist. Decals and lacquer next.
I might have some gardening to do first ….

Impatience got the better of me, I need to place an order with Retrodecals still but in my defence I got the forks back from Pace last weekend after a service with replacement bridges and they just look really pretty.

I'm a bit perverse when it comes to welding. Could we get a closer look at the brazes and bracketry now that it's been coated?
