Re: 1989 Kona Cindercone
Well finally decided how this build would end up looking,partly because i wanted the velocity stem for my Dave Yates. But sadly because of the Dave Yates this one like my others will be sold off to fund the build so unfortunately they'll be no group shot of the seven
It's been one of the most enjoyable builds i've done so far,starting with a manky blank canvas and ending up the way it has. And because of that i thought i'd treat it to a couple of nice parts,so this is the build spec.
F&F:Tange Mtb and Project Twos
Stem: 1" can't remember
Bars: ITM Ultra Light
Grips: Nos Odi John Tomacs
Brakes: Deore ll levers with hoods,matt black Deore Mt62 cantis,matt black Deore ll U-brake
Shifters: Deore XT
Front Mech: Mountain LX
Rear Mech: Mountain LX
Chainset: Mountain LX
Cassette:HG70
BB: New Shimano
Hubs: M550 Deore LX
Rims: Araya RM17's
Tyres: Ritchey World Championship K force
Pedals: New Wellgo M149
Seatclamp: Nos Deore XT
Seatpost: New Uno
Saddle: Avocet Racing 1
All in all an enjoyable build

Re:
Saying the Cindercone is now up for sale i thought i better get a quick photo of it with it's bigger brother before it hopefully go's to a new home,i think they look rather good together
But the cindercone has to make way for another Kona splatter paint resto i've had planned for a while. Photos will follow shortly

Re:
The Explosif is very nearly finished until i can get the black Deore ll hubs laced up then it'll finally be completed (well nearly still need some amber wall Maximum and Reaction tyres) how i'd have specced the bike in 1989. Which would've been the black Deore ll hubs on black RM20's instead of the silver it came with standard,XT seatpost and XT quick release seatclamp.

Re:
Sometimes things happen for a reason,as the cindercone didn't sell and i had time to ponder what i was going to do with it,i remembered i had some usable oem spec Reaction tyres in the loft. When i was looking for them i found the original wheels,nos mountain lx combi levers,cantis and u-brake,so i decided to put it back to catalogue spec. A bit of cleaning and polishing of the brakes,a search on eBay for a black Kalloy seatpost and this is the result so far.
To my eyes it looks a whole lot better being in standard spec than it's previous guise. Or that might be just me having a thing at the minute of my bikes to be as they left the bike shop bitd,one thing though i'm glad it didn't sell
Opinions welcome
