Great! Keep 'em coming folks. Still not sure which direction to go in with the Lava Dome - paint is not as good as it looks in the pic - there are lots of chips and scuffs but I'm pretty handy with the touch-up brush (remember the little Explosif anyone?).

Definitely singlespeed though (I don't 'do' gears) and probably rigid up front. Loving the Rody forks on the Kilauea

Re:

Cheers. I don't know where that Groovy fork is now. I was asking Rody about Ti rigid forks for my Kilauea and he suggested building one out of steel for me as there would be less flex around the disc mount. I knew I wanted a segmented fork as well. He said he would adjust the angles to better suit a Kona and that the fork would be made from the last of the Fat Chance tubing stock he had bought up when they closed their doors. Its basically an evolution of what a Yo-Eddy fork would/could have been like. I'm gutted I sold that fork to be honest and now Rodys' waiting list is very long and very closed at the moment
