Hello Everyone,

I know this is going to be a real difficult item to find, I recently purchased a 1997 Kona King Kikapu and the rear arm has cracks at the rear pivots. I have been quoted to get it fixed but the quote is rather expensive. I was wondering if anyone has a donor frame for sale, happy to arrange postage.


Cheers

Re:

I rebuilt a u'hu that had the MK1 rear triangle with the same problem. A friend of my dads made up some new rear pivots which had plugs that went up the seat stays and were then welded at the join. Thats the short and sweet version of a very long story!
It all depends if you know someone with a milling machine/lathe and the skills.

Heres some pics including a gratuitous one of the end result :)

How much did it cost you for the repair? Ball park figure will help.

Just I have been quoted $400 to $500 AUD, so £250 old money.
