Tim that is lovely. Still think you need some P2s on though :)
I ran switchblades on one of my old OCLVs and they are a tad on the stiff side...

Thanks everyone, I’ll see what it’s like with the Tange fork but I’ve have one before and was happy with it
 
Re: 1991 Kona Hei Hei

Second the comment about the P2. Otherwise it’s a lovely build. I still haven’t heard about splitting the cost re: reinstating the brake noodle. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them next week! :)

Great stuff. Have you got a build thread for your Hei Hei?
 
Re: 1991 Kona Hei Hei

No not yet - I had been holding back, till I'd probably completed the Hot, but now it seems the right time whilst things are in motion and before it comes back. It's been a bit of gamble!
 
Managed to get my hands on a Track Two fork with the 1 1/8” steerer, just got to wait for it to arrive from Italy. Planning on painting the legs black and asking Gil for reproduction decals :)

Those are beautiful! Looks to be the original finish.

Please don’t paint them!

Did they do any in this finish? I thought they were only black...but they do look original.

These are original finish but the seller sent me high red pics and there is quite a bit of surface damage. Could get them re chromed I guess?

very nice, i think chrome will look better with the Ti frame, you can get coloured chrome so you could get them to match the frame more :)
