Yeh i know what you mean, i am going to get it period but want to go the other way with the frame and do something bizzar with a fancy colour scheme.
Will be looking for some nice old xtr brakes and shifters and front and rear mech and casstte, so if anyone got anything ill probably buy it if its a good price??
EMMM lime green, going to have to get a colour sample i think or try and find some fancy coloured skinny steel framed bikes, any one got any?
It does look nice plain simple black but my other hardtail is black and looking for something very very diffrent for this one.
I want something nice and bright for winter

Nice base to start. If you are keeping the stem, I'd go flat bar, risers look wrong to me with that combo.
For inspiration cant go much further wrong then something out there like this:

Best original paint i've seen for a while, looks great I reckon. Do something similar, lime green is a good shout as mentioned. Like the 1997 (?) rockhopper A1 FS
(Jimster on here has one

Nick C":3gbm9fo3 said:I too think this looks great as it is, spend some time polishing up the aluminium bits and it will look fantastic.
I really really do agree, its just that my other hardtail is black and i am really wanting a change and if im goig to have a change i think i want to go the other way and do something rather exteme with the frame.
I love white too but i think there is way too many white Konas knocking about this year, my brothers Cindercone is white looks great and clean but its the norm this year i think.
