And if you sell the SID I would be interested!

Thought I'd try the RC36...

nail on the head.



seatpost looks too low for a kona tho, but who am i to pass judgement, assuming it fits you.

 

[kase1983]

if you ever have thoughts on selling the frame let me know!

Ok, I'll try and remember it is supposed to be a 'keeper' but you never know. I thought that of my DBR TT :roll: Mind you, it wasn't 'cheap'

Hi Wadsy!!! She was simply wonderful... Hug

Lovely

I reckon some modern (V brake) Fox forks would look good on that, especialy in silver like your old Hei Hei

Didn't you buy my old set of Fox's off me Neil?

Anyway, they are heavy, the SID's are light I've got a choice of these SID Race in silver or between a black or white set of SID WC - any thoughts?

I want to do a custom SID anyway to get them a bit lighter :shock:

Cheers
