I don't know who made this shiny Kona stem. Kalloy?


I removed the original black anodizing from the seat clamp and polished it. Brass nut looks nice I think.

Tyres are in very nice condition.


The tyres are mounted as they should. Why did Continental put those nice colorful tyre labels facing non-drive side?!

That's it. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.
