I'm normally in Copenhagen, but im not back before mid may.

Think Copenhagen airport is easiest Its around 2-3h back and forth from Copenhagen with the train.

The seller is a nice guy - maybe you could get him to hold it until you have the possibility to spend a weekend in Copenhagen. And i think you will save the import tax if you just bring it your self?

Do you know the seller?

I’ve decided against it due to logistics mainly but also I’ve spent a lot recently.

However ….. I really want it.

I’ve checked flights out and they are cheap. I’d likely have to go alone as we have a 2.5 year old which complicates quick trips abroad into a whole other level of complication

No, not personally, just talk with him about bike stuff - seams like he have a huge Kona collection, think he had around 10 frames for sale over the last years.

Hey that's my old frame! Sold it 10 years ago.

I'm being a dummy and just *realised* this is a KK not a HH, which in a team livery, is even more rocking horse doo-doo.

I'm assuming (to keep the stupidity levels high), that this was/is (reportedly) Lesley's frame KK17021. You don't happen to remember the SN do you @eshew ?

Yes, both are correct, previous owner and serial. Still kicking myself for selling it, was a tad small for me, but a layback post and a OG marzocchi Z2 would have sorted that out easily. Back then I thought these grew on trees as a close friend picked up at Hei Hei in team livery around the same time ... His had a crack at the head tube/down tube. Haven't seen another since
