This is exactly what I need! So here is my story:
I began my retro-addiction around my 19th birthday last year, approximately a month after graduating from gymnasium, when a friend of mine gave me a '94 Kona Lava Dome frame he had found on the ceiling of the college where he lives (and I used to live). I didn't know anything about it, but I can remember I thought the slim tubing and simple design looked great with the colors, which you don't see nowadays. So I started searching the net and found this site, which helped me find the original spec list. With this I started searching for the parts i needed - I quickly found a pair of P2's, a velocity stem, impact headset, race light bars and so on, but some minor problems with some sellers have delayed my first retro project. Then a seller on here offered me a lot of the parts I were looking for (XT, flite, Onza and so on). But at the time there were some significant changes in my life - I went from school (technical college) to becoming an apprentice in a bike shop and I moved to a small and pretty cold "apartment" in Århus, Denmark. This is all fine, but due to the educational system in Denmark i had to live for to months, move to another city and attend a skiing trip to Austria for around 500£. This could easily be done, but then I was offered all these parts for ... 250£ Without the slightest sense - actually it's madness - I paid the 250£ :roll:
So here's a short summary of my life for the last seven or eight months:
graduated - worked at a camping place - drove tractor :shock: - where unemployed - started "studying" towards becoming a bike mechanics (and therefore moved) - started as an apprentice (and therefore moved)
It's hard to find a place to live in Århus, especially when you have spent all your money on retro bike stuff, so I'm writing this in my 30sqm "apartment" which actually used to be a shop (which means I haven't got a real kitchen, takes showers at work and shares toilet with a driving school ), my radiator doesn't work so the temperature is only sometimes above 16 degrees celcius :shock:
And this canti hanger is one of the only thing I need to complete my first retro bike, I'll even go down with my empty bottles to pay for postage on this thing
