Still looking for the right steel bike, I am not too fussy, will accept top level Konas, Canadian Rocky Mountains, Brodies by Paul...
I have no particular attachment to any particular brand/model - currently I do have 3 Konas, but that is partly accidental but mainly because happen to meet my "functionality" needs.
My only present "want" is a lighter version of my '93 Lava Dome, the most "comfortable" bike I have had since a Ti On One single speed/fixed cyclo Xer (1 of 3 built I believe).
I have managed rides, tarmac and bridleways, of over 35 miles on the LD - max my severely damaged 74 y.o. lungs can hope for. On ANY bike.
All I can think of is carbon bars and seat post and a quality c'set/bb swop. Maybe an Explosif from same year?

Did Phil get the On One? Must be time for a bespoke frame.. I'm going
Yes he did and it is still in regular hard-man use around the "hills" of the Welsh Borders!Did Phil get the On One? Must be time for a bespoke frame.. I'm going
It pleases me that it has a good life and is still with 1 of the original C+ fixed wheel "Community".
Custom build would probably take longer than I have left riding!

He was always a hard rider, over 20 years ago! Where does time go? What a happy thought, good talk
