I bought this Cinder Cone on here a few months ago as a complete bike, with the intention of changing it up a bit.
I stripped the bike down and sold off some of the parts that were not in my plan for the bike. It then sat as a frame and forks in the garage for a while.... then I bought a Kilauea frame too so my intentions for this changed slightly.
Originally I was going to do it as a pure XC machine with interchangeable Rock Shox/P2's, but now I've decided to build it as a bit of a dossing around bike.... you know the kinda one you launch off the steps in the town centre type thing rather than a pure bred XC machine.
However no need to down spec it as I'd already acquired quite a few bits.....
So tonight I chucked the forks and stem that came with it back on along with a nice Club roost Comp II riser bar, Some M739 STI, M739 V brakes (also bought with the bike) and a NOS M739 front mech.
Had a quick look over it and looks ok so far.... one thing did strike me as odd though was the routing for the rear mech cable... is it meant to start on the LHS of the downtube and cross under it to reach the RHS Chainstay?
