No no no, there are far more clued up folks than I: Canuck, Anthony, Rojo, Raiden and many many others.

Nice bike. That's a fairly modern Deore rear mech. Decent enough kit, but wrong if you're an originality weeny.

Anyone know if those thumbies are original? I could be wrong (probably am) but 94 seems a.bit late to have them.

The guy did say the rear mech was changed,hoping to get it put right..

Re:

Nice bike, but then i would say that, i have one too ;-)

The thumbies are catalogue spec for a 94, Kona held out a bit longer than others.

yeah, those Suntour XC shifters were sweet, would work for either 7 or 8 speed, and had a phantom click in case you ran a 9 speed road build-up in the back
