Yes still enjoying it Mikee, its better than ever now with the latest mods to be honest. The wheels and tyres have made the biggest difference.
Its getting a little pushed out at the moment though by my 1990 Karakoram.

i had a 96 one in red and black - does not stand out like yours

are you sure it was the '96 model that had the same livery in black and red. I was convinced it was '94 :?
It was 1997, the alternative colour so not shown in the catalogue unfortunately - http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/d/1 ... ea30f4a400

I had an 18" version, wish I never sold it. Light, handsome but a bit flexy when heaving in the saddle.
Hi Chris
I was at first thinking i wasnt a hard rider but then had a think and that bike was ridden from new preatty much every other day for the best part of 3 years on the quantocks. so it may have suffered from a bit fatigue! i am going to keep an eye out for another. got to finish my current Kona build first tho. i have got some old picks of it that i will try and put up when i work out how. bit new to this forum thing!
cheers

LOL, I'm surprised it's broken, I mean you didn't use it for jumping in the field or for trials on pallets stacked up in your yard or bunny hop height competitions, or trials in minehead, riding down sets of stairs.
In fact I can't remember you ever 'just riding along' !
I'm surprised mine survived, I did quite a few 4ft + drop offs that weren't that smooth, plenty of crashes, that frame saw two front wheels properly pringled!
