1999 Kona Stab Dee Lux

Lovely! Very nice, you have many good parts on her sir, not seen some double wide rims in years
Just keep her clean

How do you find the front wheel?

 

[Buzzsaw]

Both the rear Double Wide rim and front wheel were ebay hock offs. Would you believe the rear rim went for one dollar!!! Built it up with a Ringle 36h rear hub - heavy but very solid. As for the front wheel it seems to take the hits and the hub can be converted from 20mm to QR.

Woah thts bloody cheap.

I have the da bomb rims myself and theyre still near new after 4 years of abuse.

Thanks it must be the rasta inspired paint job and stickers. Great fun to ride. Meet the rest of the family members, Stab Dee Lux (99), Kilaeua (94), Stuff (02) and Stinky (01).

Nice line up...same Kilauea as mine.

Ive just added a 2000 Stinky Dee Lux...stripped and ready to be rebuilt!!
Cant wait to see how much fun it is!!

Got the forks on ebay but luckily the seller had it under as motorcycle forks category (well they weigh as much a motocross pair) so alot of people missed sporting it. Here's a comparison pic of the size of the Monsters to a pair of 2002 Marzocchi Super T forks. Massive.

Always room for improvement my friend.

Agreed,
Monster T's are for real men

Agreed,
Monster T's are for real men

And Super Monster T's are for men with tiny genitalia.

By crikey I'll need to take steriods if I got Super Monsters and a step ladder to get on the saddle!
