[lewis1641]

hi tomorrow night i am collecting this little beauty i bought in haste...

the plan being to swap the components over from my 97 fire mountain. however i now realise this frame will be no good for my 97 judy sl forks.

just putting the feelers out at the minute but does anyone have a similar quality kona frame from a later bike they would like to swap for this one?

as far as i know it is a 16 inch and is in reasonable condition.

FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION IT

Now then,

my wife is currently riding a Kona Explosif (also brought in haste)1995 in yukky dark purple. Its got a 23" virtual top tube and from memory it's an 18" frame. It's a bit too long for her and I'm shopping for an alternative frame. If the t/t on this is about 21" and the explosif is your kind of size I'd be up for a swap. Where in the world are you. I'll pm you my phone number as were on a country wide oddysy this weekend and mayyyyyybe our paths can cross...

Cheers

Hence the furrowed brow! Actually it's not at all bad - surprisingly compliant and it did build up into a light singlespeed even with very ordinary bits. I though I'd hate it, but I don't.

I kind of prefer it to my 1994 Pine Mountain, but just moved all the SS stuff to the Pine to see if what I like is the Kona or the SS bit.
I did do a blisteringly fast run of my local loop yesterday on the SS Pine, so the Alu is definitely no faster.

I need to reduce the fleet, can't decide which has to go!
