My '92 Cinder Cone commuter

[456_rich]

Mainly built of parts of hear and used every day. I will probably race it at Mountain Mayhem with some Judy's as well

I love it, I know its not period or in great condition but functionally its flawless! The Suntour components are sooo sweet, the mounts on the thumbies were pretty bashed up so I polished them up a bit

you got to love them old konas,
ive not long sold a 88 cindercone and a 98 caldera to make way for my next projects.
still i will never sell my 92 lavadome

I know what you mean. The geometry is spot on, I hope the 80mm Judy's I have got dont upset the handling too much

For most of my riding in South of England its perfect, though I do need to find a 22T granny as the 26T was hitting the chain stay

hmm,
i would not mind changing my forks for something better,project 2 forks are ace but always liked the look of pace forks....
getting anything to fit these old frames is a pain sometimes
