Kona Fan
£200 collection from St Neots, Cambs. Happy to help with moving it a bit in the right direction and meeting up half an hour or so away.
Any questions let me know
I picked this up around 18 months ago and stripped down all bearings (bottom bracket, headset, hubs and pedals) cleaned and regreased. I would say headset and bb bearings showing slight wear, hubs still good. On the pedals the inner seals have perished and a small piece missing from one. Seat post and bb cups came out freely.
Also fitted new brake and gear cables included the correct Suntour Accushift gear cables with the now rare barrel cable end required by the xpress shifters and Suntour straddle wires.
Mostly original spec as far as I can tell, only none original items items other than noted cable replacement, is that the middle and maybe inner chainrings look like they have been changed plus new grips.
I have used since rebuilding with new brake blocks and tires but have put the originals back on for sale.
Condition is generally good for age with scuffs etc on the frame as to be expected given age, could be given a polish to bring up nicely but I liked the age showing. Paint is a bit rougher on the forks and stem.
