It's very nice, but it's not a 2004, I had a 2004 and it looks like this:

I'm thinking yours is an '05 or '06 - Dedacciai tubed with a teardrop downtube?

Bit unsure about the wheels but rest is sweet

The downtube is tear dropped shaped, I have had a google and it seems its a 2006 :shock:

Thanks for pointing this out, I always thought it as a 2004

I know , I hide a lot of dark secrets

Had it for a year now but my secret us not to ride modern fandangled to retro meets. It's very new and old school at the same time , have a butchers at my other modern kona with disc's too :roll:

Will do a Bristol ride soon mate or if you fancy another down your way ride as it would be good to have another pub lunch !

How's that green stem doing !

 

[ekiborter]

yeah... I like that.

would like to see it with either a black saddle or silver spokes to go with the green brown combo'


but I'm just being picky.
