I spotted it to but I have the opposite problem, its gates only for me
I have now left the steel kona hardtail set shortly after I joined. The Kona Fire Mountain looked good especially its colour but nothing else I liked so Ecks getting it.
And finally today I bought a pair of Trek Mogul Black Diamond forks for the Trek 9500. i'm not intentionally trying to build it period correct but the stuff needed just keeps appearing cheaply, £35 posted from the bay

Wasnt gonna buy the kona
On the (dunno if it is?) bright side
My mates wife (my pal who lost his fight with cancer) has promised me his Kona Caldera , Its modern (2k9) but it'll do to help me get out on the bikes more often,
As Mr O is nae use for a wee blast around the trails

Those modern calderas should be good as they used to be the GT hire bike of choice

OK dyna-ti, here are the pics. Sorry if they are crap, had to use phone as both batteries for my camera were flat.
The Hope disc rear wheel, (built it myself), Hope rear QR, Hope seatpost QR, the XT chainset, old type Hope titanium BB, XT front and rear mechs, Flite Titanium saddle, Crank Brothers pedals, X-lite bar ends, one Hope lever and Goodridge hoses, and Specialized tyres came off my old full suspension bike.
The Sachs shifters, X-lite bars and seatpost, Yeti grips, front and rear Hope calipers, and Super V frame/shock all sourced on Retrobike.
The Lefty Titanium fork, Lefty front wheel and Caad4 rear arm from eBay.
Discs and pads from Superstar Components.
Put together, eventually, by me.
Just remembered both Hope levers were off my old bike. They were on a set of XC4's which are a closed system so just changed the cap for one from an open system for the front brake.
