I've had my Bonty since new, but can't remember if I bought it in 97 or 98... It's got a 1⅛" headtube and non-tapered seat stays and the number stamped on the bottom is "9822 P" - Real Bonty headz please to be adviseful, as they say.
Anyway, out of the box it looked very similar to this one:
Then I had work overseas and it stayed at home and got a bit rusty. So when I got back, 2004 ish, I had it rebuilt with a Bomber shock and rode it all the time:
(Yes, the shop kindly put the top-tube sticker on backwards)...
Then I found RB and decided it needed some bling...
Then I decided to make it lighter as I'd got the habit and the Bonty was the heaviest of all my rides...
I've got all the bits together, going for a white frame with a carbon front-end...
Just got the frame back from the powedercoaters:
It's coming... waiting on a headset, crank bolts and a 9-speed cassette to show.
