Thats great if the forks fit. I have a 100mm 15deg rise thomson stem so that should fit well. Ive als got carbon low rise bars.
Its currently black but im going to get a disc tab brazed on canti mounts removed then bright orange (ford rs asbo) powder coat
Sorry I know that wont please some. Not sure ill have time before mayhem though.

Sorry I know that wont please some. Not sure ill have time before mayhem though.l saw a black '98 Hot frame in a cycle jumble in Steyning identical to mine a few months back. Could it be the same frame? lf so it was def a genuine Hot, l was amazed to see one so close to where l live when l had to get mine sent from California

WAY HEY!! Well done Smokes!
Could be the one. Its from a guy who i saw at the ripley jumble a couple of weeks ago. I think he's jumble regular. To be honest i dont know much about retro bikes so am hoping that if the frame no starts kh that means its a hot? He seems a genuine guy.
There should be an "angency scum wrote" here but a havent worked that out yet
Hi Mark after i spoke to you i called a few more organizers and eventually found the guys mate. The frame i was after he sold earlier that day but then we got talking about the hot. Its more than i wanted to spend but im well happy.

Steerer-wise on my Kona with a 110mm head tube (18" Fire Mountain) I had a FSA Orbit MX with a 32mm stack height then about 20mm under the stem in terms of spacers. I was using a FSA XC-series stem which has a low stack height, 5mm less than a Ritchey WCS stem. The steerer was 198mm.

I love it, you get a disaster and end up with a dream bike...bit of a result that!
Just had a proper measure. My marin has a 100mm headtube, ive got 25mm of spacers under my stem. The stem is also 5mm above steerer which is as far as i want to go. I make my headset about 27-28mm. I think this means that ill need a 20mm headset if the hot has a 130mm headtube. :?
Still feel bad about the marin though. Its survived 19 years still with the original black paint, i have it a few months and kill it
Anyway back to the Hot
Couldnt pick it up today due to work and family so will have it tomorrow. Spoke to chas, he said if i get it to him on sat he will have it ready the following sat 11th.Powder coater said if they get it on the monday i can have it back on the wednesday the 15th.
That leaves a day before mayhem to get it built.
Its going to be close

The 19" Kona frames tend to have the 130mm head tube if yours is an 18" you should be ok.
