Retro Kona Project Bike

rak

Retro Newbie
19" Black Kona Cinder Cone from circa 1992. Its the race light frame and it wears the scars of a well used bike (but hey, chicks dig scars)

Spec is:
1992 19" steel frame, some wear and tear on head tube and chainstays
Manitou Six Sport 80mm forks (old year model but only been ridden a few times)
FSA Headset
Easton EA70 Monkey bars (original 165gms flat bar available for free if you want it)
Front wheel - Mavic X517 on Deore
Rear wheel - Mavic D521 on Deore
8 speed cassette (don't know what, probably Deore)
LX rear mech (jockey wheels are Ninja stars so new BNIB set thrown in for free)
300LX Front Mech (this is original - 17 years old!)
Deore levers and brakes front and back (probably a few years old now)
Deore Shifters (probably a few years old now)
LX Chainset, bottom bracket is coming loose so BNIB one thrown in for free
WTB Saddle
Push alloy seatpost
Conti Twister 1.9 semi-slicks (two) - probably the max size you'll get in the frame
Conti XC 1.5 (two)
Four tubes 26"*1.25-1.75 (2 BNIB, 2 of uncertain condition)
Ritchey VP102 pedals

This bike has done everything from BMBF racing (complete with grinning idiot - I believe this was the year I beat a certain C. Chippendale in the sport race at Plymouth)

to commuting and riding. It's a superb ride (I think there's a joke in there about 17 year olds but I'll leave that to you) but I need the space hence I'm selling. Would make a good retro project, or you could just ride it as is for a commuter/hack bike...
