Kona Kula...project build

Nice, so teady to take out for a spin and get muddy. Looks like you opted for shimano instead of sram, any particular reazon?
 
Re:

No particular reason I've gone with Shimano, just knew what I wanted and stuck with that - if I changed to SRAM I'd faff more finding out which is the best groupset etc etc ;)
Here's a pic just after a carpark spin at work. It's light, solid and well balanced (from what the ride in the car park told me :p). Just some tweaks needed on the cockpit, and a new black seat post arriving shortly will finish the look off nicely.might go for a black saddle too, but I'm not fussed since I'll be sat on it/not looking at it while I'm riding!
The forks might need sorting out as the preload/rebound(?) knobs don't seem to do anything,but the ETA does. and it suspiciously doesn't have that squelchy Marzocchi noise...But they are operating nicely for my weight so far...
