I think the time has come to bite the bullet and accept that I'm unlikely to ride my Lava Dome again. It was bought from ebay in a fit of nostalgia to replace my first proper mountain bike which was stolen. 19" Frame (16" C-C), in "well loved" cosmetic condition, the worst parts of which being a bad scratch on the down tube suffered while packed in a car and a chainsuck related dent. Triple butted Project 2s included. Canti cable guide has been replaced with a clamp-on cable stop to allow a rear V-Brake. £50 plus shipping for Frame, Forks, 1 1/8" threaded LX headset and a seatpost.
I'm also considering selling my Orange C16r. I think it's a 1999 model (1" forks, Silver paint - not plated, black decals, Canti stop), 19.5" Frame, IIRC. Comes with 3 pairs of forks - the original Orange 5-Piece forks for V-brakes, a pair of Orange 5-Piece forks with a disc mount painted in a metallic copper colour and a pair of MX Comp forks. All with 1" threadless steerer to suit the frame. Again frame shows signs of being well loved, raced at Mountain Mayhem and SSWC, etc. and having been on a good few adventures (sundry scratches, one dent in bottom of chainstay where pedal was reversed to pack for flying back from SSWC, and one bottle boss has started to come out). Details / photos can be taken and supplied if interest is expressed. Thinking around £55 for Frame and 2x Rigid forks, plus a headset and a shim for a 1 1/8 threadless stem and a seatpost shim for 27.2 seatpost, £65 for the MX Comps as I know there aren't many 1" forks around. Or £110 for the bundle. Frame purchaser has first dibs on forks, though.
Collection from S.E. Kent encouraged. Otherwise I'm happy to take Paypal and sort out some postage. I can take some photos of the Orange, and I've more photos of the Kona and the Rock Shox if anyone's interested.
