Evening all! I've been looking through this website for a while now and inspired by letmetalktomark's confused kona, I've finally decided to rebuild my 1997 Kona Cinder Cone.
It was my first proper mountain bike and I rode it until about 2000. Since then it's been hiding in my parents garage, stripped down and looking lonely.
Having rebuilt a number of other bikes, I've got all sorts of bits and pieces lying around so the current plan is for it to be a modern build: Fox Float 32 RL's reduced down to 85mm, Hope Mono Minis, disc mount welded by Argos, powder coat and decals redone as per original, 1x9 set up etc etc.
Anyway, I have no idea how long this is going to take but thought I'd document its progress on here...updates to follow!
