Sold Kona Lava Dome 1997

Kona Lava Dome for sale

I've owned this for about 6 years, but it's been hung up for the last few other than running errands with a child seat on. I'm clearing some room, so sadly this has to go.

- 19"
- 1997
- Later p2 forks, disk and canti mounts, 44.5cm
- Original chainset and mechs (its had a newer cassette and a chain at some point) gears run smoothly.
- Exage thumbies (I run friction)
- Deore v-brake in the front, but original curve canti available
- Panaracer smoke 2 rear tyre 2.1
- Rocket rob front 2.1

Points to address (if desired);

- The back wheel bearings are a bit grumbly
- Front wheel would benefit from truing
- Needs a good clean and polish if that's your thing
- There are lots of scratches, and bits of rust etc, it's no minter.

It rides fine, goes and stops as it should. Could use as is, or plenty of scope to improve it.

Let me know if any queries.

Collection only, Bolton BL2.

£80 ?

Wow nice bike!
 
Thanks for the positive comments on this.

Had some interest, but ultimately it's still here!

My Cannondale M400 will be being cleaned up and sold shortly too, but it's more "commuter" spec so may not appeal on here.
