Wow that is one smart bike, well done.

Looking for a retro Kona or Marin to build for myself, now leaning more towards a Kona

I took some new 'arty' pics. I love this bike. It rides so light and when I go tubeless it'll feel even faster

More to come....

kona fans unite!

I've got a modern Hope 'saw-tooth' style rotor in 5-bolt pattern on the way to match the rear.

This bike still needs good fettle to be properly ridable. As it is its only suitable for jaunts down the shops or light local trails. Sadly I cant afford to get it 100% complete yet :cry: Rear wheel needs truing, brakes need a bleed and new pads, and the lower cassette sprockets need replacing.

Its nice to look at though

I got the back wheel trued and the brakes suddenly started working so the bike and I have done abut 40 miles over the last week and shes a bit dirty now. Mainly dust but Its been a blast. Shes even got some cable rub and couple of chips already! No garage queen here thanks. This one a rider! Out again tomorrow night

Nice pics Mike, looking lovelly! What made you go for baby blue Kona decals instead of yellow? Looks nice

 

[mikesnowdon]

Saw a '95 Kona re-done in white and thought the baby blue decals looked nice on the white frame.

She rides real nice
