Kona Cindercone

Kevhl · Jun 19, 2010

I've been after a Kona frame for ages, picked one up this morning!
If I was aiming for pristine then a respray would be on the cards, but I think I'll build it up as is for the time being and see how I get on.
Spec. wise I know pretty much what I'm doing just got to get a couple of bits before I can get everything together.

Couple of pics (excuse the quality):

Such small headtubes!

Lovely colour. Will be a nice build im sure.

Kevhl · Jun 20, 2010

I can't get over how small it looks in comparison to my newer bikes!
I love the colour as well, definately holding off a respray although it is a little scuffed.
Pretty much have everything but a stem, so please excuse the old 50mm xlite dh one thats on the following pic.

Apologies... that pictures terrible quality!

Love the bike and love the forks, the gold stanchions always looked fantastic on the RC35 pro's.

Classic.

And the amber tyres are great,though i'd like to see it with black tyres amber walls

I've got the exact same model - it is a lovely colour.

I must get some amber tryes for it, after seeing yours!

Looks great with the black bars/stem/headset and Pace forks. I think it needs a black post and black chainrings and/or cranks. Add a smattering of gold ano (and KMC chain) to tie in with the Pace forks stanchions.

My tyre choice would be Green wildgrippers.

I've a set of black raceface turbines at my brothers that are destined for this one! Think black/gold is the way to go as well.
The top of the post and front hub are purple as well, which just doesn't fit in. Really need to get a set of gold hopes on black rims but I've only got purple and red fronts at the minute!

This is very much a build with what I've got bike, and I'm trying to do it without spending any money... that said my own rules allow me to sell old bits to fund new ones!
