Finally getting my hands on some black m730 cranks.. who knows.. by this time next year, maybe I’ll have completed the build in question..

My 94 Fire Mountain. Picked up for next to nothing and spent hours stripping, cleaning and rebuilding it. Had to lose a few original parts along the way due to excessive wear, but got it up and running with what I had in the shed.
I'm reliving my childhood with the bike I really wanted here - I had the catalogue and always thought the Konas looked way cooler than anything else, but even the cheapest was more than my dad was willing to spend so I ended up with a second hand GT Outpost Trail which I still loved (it was purple).
Now I can start upgrading it like I would have wanted to do back then. Sure, I could just get an Explosif or Kilauea, but they don't have the charm as I never longed for them as that would have just been unrealistic, whereas a Fire Mountain was almost within reach.

This CODA/Magic crankset found on a beaten up Super V3000. I was not expecting to find locally, as there probably were not too many flagship models imported to Finland.

For those really rare moments down by the river, for quiet and coffee.
