Kona Cinder Cone from 90; my personal dream

[Bensherman]

Small world eh ?

Haha very small world!

Popped into to grab a few bolts to finish off my 97 Kona Koa as it goes (just osted 2 pics in the kona thread.. retro frame, modern parts lol)

So, the end is near ...

Today I've assembled the seatpost (the 26.6 XT-post didn't fit, so I had to go to the next store and bought a no name alternative) and the TURBO.

I hope, some of you like the bike, though it isn't build up time-correct.

Thank's for your comments, best wishes from austria Christoph

The finished product is very "tasteful" my friend..and i hope your grandmother is happy with her new owners

All the best from your mate on the wet island

Hi Ernie!

You and some other guys accomponied my project from the beginning to the end and supported me a lot. I'd like to make a compliment to all of them: "You british bastards are great...." and I came to the conclusion, that we (austrian and german) retro-freaks can take a leaf out of your book.

The next project is already waiting (maybe this is the reason I'm divorced ).

And at last a special to my friend ernie: my grandmother feels great, just look at the photo, she sent me last weekend ...

Hi Christoph,

Finished article looks good , and I feel I can now finally "out myself" as the one who outbid you on the 1st Cinder Cone frame back at the start of March.
Glad you finally got one, and built it up.

Cheers...Nick

And Nick, it doesn't matter, that's life .... (but for this action you should rot in the hell )

Comeing back soon with my next project. Cheers, Christoph

I can see that your grandmother was very special to you.. i feel that the kona project was a very fair swap..{only just }

Her teeth remind me of witch doctors necklace
