Thanks Bob, I said it was no worse than the black royal, I may have been wrong. I'll see what I can wrangle out of it. I would say watch this space but I'm a lame arse with build threads

I've rebuilt the Kona Lava dome, I bought of off @oldave for a bargain price. Came with STX, I ummed and ahhhed if I should keep it. I love STX but it was just a bit to late. It should have 500LX. I settled on LX550 transmission and cantis. MT62 thumbies. DX hubs on Araya rims. Ritchie brake levers and early Hope skewers. Fantastic bike to ride and the epitome of an early 90s xc bike. At least as I remember it. Please excuse crap pictures.
Edit, I used the STX cartridge pads.
