97 Kona Cindercone, completed. Spec and pictures page 2.

[Thorpie]

A few updated pictures now my Cindercone is 95% completed. I am very happy with the look of the bike and all that is left to do is cable up, fit a chain and replace the skewers with some black first gen Hope jobbies which are on the way!

She's a beauty, that there is no doubt. But...I'd be interested it hear how it handles at the front with the fork. The rake looks a little more upright that a P2 - I'm probably making a mountain out of nothing.

Nice steed there- you just can't beat a steel kona from this era

Sweeet! But I'd change the tyres to a more retro type(too much lettering on em)!

Ditto - and some nice amber walled Mythos XC's would do the trick...

Finally finished! Happy with the build but would like some better wheels on it eventually. Rides well and nice and light, love the simple look of the black and silver against the blue frame colour. Excellent nick for its age. What do you think?
