And so it begins...again - the Fire Mountain weight Loss project

For about the eleventy-millionth time I am going back to my Kona Fire Mountain.

Old thread

Since this old thread stopped being updated I've been "riding" a Merlin Malt3 with Rock Shox Reba WC Carbon, and all the other bits off of the Kona. I've now sold the forks and the frame so I'm building the Kona back up again!

I hope that it will eventually be around the 23-25lbs mark, but I need it to be functional so may have to revert to an 8x3 setup and ditch the single chainring, and I'll also be running shocks so that effectively doubles the weight of the rigids I was coveting.

I will definitely be getting decals though, and probably giving the frame a new coat of paint and lacquer whilst I'm at it.
