I've got this early 90's (Not sure on the exact year) Kona Cinder Cone that I was going to build into a fun Commuter/pump track bike. - Edit - I think it's a '92!
The frame had a dent on the underside of the downtube and some chainsuck dings on the drive side chainstay, I've filled these with Silver and Brass, The dent was only small and the chain suck was a dent and a deep scratch, no holes!
I've also removed the canti brake bosses and brazed on an ISO disc mount, brace and hydraulic hose guides.
Trouble is, this frame is too small for me, I got a bit excited and ploughed on with the mods ignoring the potential size issue!
Anyway, the frame still needs paint/powdercoat to finish it off. I just priced up what Argos Racing Cycles would charge for this work (Removal of two brake bosses and one cable stop, fitting 5 cable guides, supply and fit disc brake tab and fit disc brake brace between stays) This would cost £348 according to their price list!
I've also checked the alignment of the frame, dropouts and derailleur hanger, something that Argos would have charged £80 for!
All threads on the frame are fine. I will chase/face/ream everything for the buyer before I ship.
I'm asking £150 ONO
I'm based in Norwich, collection is welcome, but happy to box and ship, I think this would be about £10 with Parcel Force including £150 insurance.
