V brake set up looks good! Used mine in a similar way for a few months. After some grubbier and wetter rides, the cable started to feel grabbier and the brake was less effective. I've now decided to run a full length of cable from lever to brakes, which feels a million times better. Not the prettiest, but having a working back brake feels better!

Thank you! I did toy with a full length liner, but the exposed inner and donuts style won me over, plus the instructions had it this way. It will probably be shielded from the worst weather as have modern machinery for that so hopefully this works out.

Here you go @enc I missed the best of the sun, so will have another go at some with specs etc when seat and hopefully seatpost swapped, but if you zoom in on the non drive side in particular you can see the colour coming through

looks amazing. Is that a Kona standard colour?

It's an off the shelf colour from the car industry I think, which was the best match they could find to the original paint. It's a pearl effect hence the sparklyness

Need to do a proper photo shoot, but here’s a sneak peak, sort of probably maybe near enough finished (until I change something), yes that is a beige saddle

Not a fan of sus forks, but this turned out very nicely despite no P2

I like the beige/cream saddle.
