Hi all,
Just joined and just bought my first project - a '93 Kona Cinder Cone (I really want an Explosif from the same year 'cos that's what I used to race on until some *"$%*>@ nicked it!), but this is close so I bought it.
Not in bad condition at all compared to the projects a lot of you have but I wanted to kit it out in a good spec of the time and original type Race Light kit too rather than get into resprays etc (yet!).
So it's mainly decked in XT, has 217 rims, the original Sugino cranks and Ritchey (Dia Compe) brakes. Someone has got rid of all the Race Light though and put on a hotch potch of other bits (for sale when I replace them later I'm sure!).
Some of the decals could do with replacing (any ideas where I can get them from?).
The forks are good too but are from the wrong year (subtle colour difference and decals are wrong).
Gave it a quick wash and it looks good in the photo's (if I can get them to come out).
Any input/advice much appreciated by the way.
