In chronological order....
My first Kona, 1992 I think, brand new from Evans in Woking, my lovely 19" Hahanna....
There's a sad tale to this Kilauea, it was bought on monthly payments and got pinched less than 3 months in, not long after this photo, (still gutted about it today!)
can anyone name the year please?
A pic of both previous bikes, by now the Hahannas new owner had sprayed the rear triangle purple, and the Kilauea is wearing a ridiculous Farmer John mud only tyre, can't remember the name but it looked and sounded terrifying on tarmac!
Me on my 199? cinder cone racing in Surrey around 1995/6
note the period animal velcro watch strap and decent (?) Nike spd shoes
another dodgy racing shot....
nice bike shame about, well everything else actually
Okay I know this one is post 98 as I moved to Sheffield then, but it's close maybe??
Giant ATX with goldtec long travel rear link and Girvin Chubbys!
On Stanage Edge...it's perfect playground!
The only bike missing next is a 1997 Kona Explosif that I bought frame only new old stock from J E James, Sheffield and built up using (regretably) the parts from the Giant. As you can imagine the forks didn't really go with the whippet like Kona, but it was still fun!
No photo
Finally....today's steed.
My 1997 Cinder Cone 20"
It gets proper use!
