:shock: at the interest in this, I better add the following just so all is clear:
the history of this bike is dubious I found it at the local tip in 2002, it having been crudely sprayed blue with virtually none of the original components, save a mangled rh DX shifter, velocity stem missing the wedge + bolt and 1 pair of LX cantis (I have them but they're in cornwall - heck, I'll post them to whoever buys it when I next go home), shit, bent wheels, odd cranks that had been attacked with a grinder (the rh was original Sugino), all sorts of horribleness. I
think but can't be sure, that the serial no may have been filed (not by me!). I only knew it was a Kona from the geometry and fork. Got it home sanded off the spray paint and lo - that cool metallic green to silver fade could be seen plus a cindercone tt sticker. Some searching on the net - 1993 match. Rashly, I (carefully mind!) filed off the cable guides thinking I may get track ends brazed in (I didn't). So I got a can of black paint sprayed it and built a SS for getting from a-b at uni. Didn't use it much, it's been sat in a shed since 2003 (when I bought a lovely Blizzard -
now on its way to another retrobike member - for a song). Now I'm building a new retro-inspired steel hardtail
and want to get rid of clutter and free some funds.
It needs 3 gear cable guides brazing (2 on down tube, 1 on chainstay) and a respray - obviously green to silver fade!
