Withdrawn Disc converted Kona Cindercone 18"

[Battersby]

Got my disc converted cindercone up for sale. Don't a few hundred miles on it (drivetrains was new) but I don't like it. I find the handling to be off. It tracks straight, I just prefer a more neutral handling bike.

The listing I bought it from with a good description is here.

Unfortunately it got a tiny dent on the down tube in shipping. Mainly paint but there is a tiny impression as well.

Xt shifter, mech, cassette, xtr chain and hope r22 chainring in the last few hundred miles. Also new ritchey bars and stem (800mm and 60mm) but can include the originals instead. Front caliper swapped out for two piston but I still have the 4 piston and seals if needed, it does need a service.

Pump, bell and saddle not included. Original saddle will be.

£500 plus postage. If no takers at this I'll split.

I would be very interested in the frame and forks if you decide to split. I'll drop a PM over in the meantime

If I was a betting man I'd say the reason for the ride feeling off is because the forks are too long for the frames original geometry. You'd likely feel it more on road than off-road, or on fairly flat terrain, especially coupled with the wide, swept back bars.

I've tried it with the original bars as well. But your right, there is a twisting shitty back lane on the way home from work and I bomb down there. It feels amazing doing that.
