Bren are the forks 100mm?


looking good, like the colour and the middleburn chainrings

I was aiming for sub 24lbs but the bathroom scales say 24.5. I won't know a true weight until I ride it to work. My choice of fork and brakes will not have helped. But while I went weenie in a lot of respects, I will actually be using this thing on a regular basis, it's also been built as a keeper. No intentions to ever sell it.
Yeah forks are F100's. Bought from here and used on another bike for a few months before i fitted them to this one. As above , not the lightest, but tick most of my boxes. Loving the chainrings

Well that was a f#%}+€ing let down! :roll:
Darling daughter fell asleep earlier with family in the house, so I took the opportunity for a quick round the block test ride and came back to a rear wheel soaked in brake fluid! :evil:
After a hose down I found the caliper seals were shot to pieces so I've swapped it for a mini caliper for now. Nothing like the same bite, but it's dry at least and will do the job til I can rebuild the M4.
Not the most auspicious first ride, but aside from that, I definately like it! Felt lovely!

First ride!!
(posted from the pub, I mean, refreshment stop off)

I'm trying to get it muddy, but the tyres aren't picking it up!
Just about to take it up the nearest hill for another photo opp, post later
Impressions so far: light, nimble, climbs like a goat, and overall: "zingy" ... Does that make sense? Not ridden a kona before.

"hungry rock wants to eat my bike!"

Finally got to weigh it on proper scales at work.

24.8lbs

Not bad considering the forks and brakes.
