Hello folks,
I've used the forum as a lurker for info on older bike builds that I've done so I thought I'd contribute something for a change. Recent acquisition is a Kona Kula in reasonable condition from an online auction site, I think it's '96 but am open to correction!
I'm planning to use it through winter as a second bike and won't be treating it as a restoration just tidying it up and keeping it on the trail, so to speak.
