Kona SS, Steel 90s, Track ends, SOLD

[geezer]

Up for sale again, but I will split if it doesn't sell within the next couple of days.


The original ad


Just bought a few months ago, but was then offered a brand new VooDoo Wanga a few weeks ago, so up for sale, I've only ridden it twice

Built up as a run around type bike, looks nice.

Nice used condition with only one Kona decal on the head tube, looks like it has been powder coated not too long ago, it has a few scratches but no deep or bad ones, the paint has worn a bit on both rear chain stays, where I think the previous owner used a wide tyre or caused by mud? but overall not bad at all, the paint looks sturdy and still has a nice shine to it.


The frame has been modified with horizontal drop outs, the job looks professionally done, see the pics, the finish is excellent.


Size Medium (I think) fits me well at 5ft10"

Centre of BB to centre of top tube 15"

Centre of BB to top of seat tube 18"

Top tube 22" C to C

Frame and forks are 1 1/8"

Nice bike, if you do split would be interested in P2s price dependent, and depending on steerer length, and axle to crown length also.

Good luck with complete sale though.

Hi, I would be interested in the P2's too, pending info on steerer length, if they are triple butted or single, and axle to crown length.

(hmm...have dibbed a lot of forks lately )

Hi guys,

Just a heads up, mistermonkeywrench off here is selling a set of P2s, he responded to my wanted ad, but then I found the ones on the bike locally just last week.

here's my wanted ad for details:

Sorry mistermonkeywrench, forgot to mention your p2s as promised, so will amend the ad.

As for my ones if I get interest in the frame and wheels then I'll split and let you know.

How does the price seem to people?

Is it too high?

Advice would be welcomed.

Thanks

BTW I'm in North London N16

 

[coomber]

Think the price is fair.

I'm pursuing other avenues for forks as had a few pms so if you split, i'm out.

Cheers

Hi,

nice bike - might be interested in the frame only.

Do you know what kind of Kona-frame it is? ...would like to see a pic from the bike straight from the side...maybe we can work something out if you dont mind shipping to germany...

CU, Ladis

 

[geezer]

Lowered the price but still open to offers.

Ladis, I'll take some side shots, and better pics tomorrow as it's a bit dull and rainy outside at the moment ,

Just to point out, the frame and forks are 1 1/8" so can easily take a later suspension fork.
