My Hot

[haggis]

Had this for a while now and its still not the way i want it but its now rideable and i figured it was worth posting. Its only done a few round the block gear trials so far but i'm looking forward to taking it out properly tomorrow. Its got a mish mash of modern and retro parts on it and i'm afraid i'm a great believer in riser bars.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

Is this the one that required lengthy negotiations?

Nice floorboards, too

The fork complements the frame perfectly. I agree about function being more important than form, but funnily enough, while I'd be more tradionalist in sticking to silver parts and flat bars, I would definitely have fitted V-brakes without a qualm.

I actually don't know why they didn't fit V-brakes to the 96 Kona range anyway, as they were available then - the 96 catalogue shows all of the top bikes except for the Hot and Ku with Maguras and the rest with Curve cantis. Perhaps just traditional Kona anti-Shimano bias!

looks very nice great job, look forward to seeing it in the flesh- BTW I think the canti's look just right

Judy FSX is the best sus fork for that frame I can think of. Looking good!

Looks great Stew.

joe breeze and friends had cowbars fitted so they came before straights therefore risers are retro

Cheers guys Am very pleased with it myself. I had comtemplated putting some M950 V's on it but at the moment all i have on the cards is getting some wheels built up for it. I have a front pineapple hub and a rear M950 which are going to be laced to some 717 CD rims.
