Great find!

Just shows that you never know what you may come across whilst out and about and to always keep eyes peeled!

If you remove the threaded headset, you should certainly be able to install a threadless headset.

think ive got a threadless headset knocking about

just need to find some gear shifters and maybe some wheels

Definitely some wheels!

Nice to see one of the more common Konas being brought back to life.
