Withdrawn Kona Lava Dome - forest green

[Iacabu]

On the lookout for my first retro build

As per title really. Would consider other models/colours but got my eye on a particular look for the bike.

Frame only or full bike

Needs to be 18" plus by the sounds of things (I'm 5'11")

I've attached the bike which caught my attention initially, and to reference the colour

Yeah I've seen that particular '97 lava dome quite a bit on insta. I very nearly bought a 20" complete bike off the back of lusting after building one up like that. It's a very cool bike.

Hi Iacabu,

I bought this very 18" Lava Dome from Primo with the intention of single-speeding it but it has unfortunately sat untouched due to other commitments:

Any good?

Pretty sure i have all the parts as listed still but the spare pair of wheels may have gone.

Could also sell as frame and forks with headset if that's better.

Cheers.

Thanks @thefunkymunki

It's exactly what I was after but I'm going to sit on the decision for a while, as a day after I posted the thread I had a change of heart and have been looking at GTs instead!

I'm not in a rush to buy so might come back to you if I reconsider again.
