Two pictures about 3 1/2 years apart with the bottom one taken this very morning.
There is a build thread somewhere but I’m too inept to be able to add a link I’m afraid.

oldave's 1993 Kona Lava Dome. "Just a bike."
Done 1,750 (35%) of my 4,542 miles YTD. Amuses me that combined bike and rider age a mathematically neat 105 years!View attachment 796105View attachment 796106

I think this is my favorite Kona

Good to see it being used. Just to point out it is a '92 not '93.

Spuds 1994 CO2 Ozone

This ones been through a few scrapes but has always go me home - even if me and Mike Muz had to burgle THM's shed when he was out in order to find the tool needed to tighten a crank bold (don't think THM has ever forgiven us for that)

Pic taken in Graham Foots shop (Bigfoot and Ozone being kinda one of the same - but not) prior to going to Mountain Mayhem




and one of poor old Shaun whose been everywhere with me and pictured after a particularly muddy Hell of the North Cotswold's
