Hi, new to the forums, but messed with bikes since school days.
After owning some expensive stuff late 90's early 00's, I sold up and bought a newer car. Always had a bike of some description, but mainly Halfords tack. Carrara Banshee, Haro flightline comp and several others. On purchasing a trek 6500 and taking it off road , I knew I had to buy/build something much more suitable. So I bought a 09 Kona The King . This had work done in the past. A powder coated frame in white along with Bomber forks, halo combat rims and few other bits. I have altered a few bits, starting on the forks. It now has some Rockshox Recon 120mm. New tyres conti king 2's. SRAM gold link chain and fresh seat. Currently waiting on hope bash guard and fresh decals for the forks.
After reading a thread on here about a Orange Ms Isle, it took me right back to my youth. I needed another! Hunting the sites and good old eBay, one showed up in a colour I hadn't seen before. I set to with spare bits I had saved over the years. The forks removed from the Kona were fitted along with a fat pig FSA headset. Race face chain set with a fsa BB. Mavic rims with Hayne 9 hydraulic discs. Waiting on a new stock stem and a pair of Orange bars from a Five.
Pictures to follow ASAP
