Super build
Thats a super job, is it an 18? I have same tube set, but as the Explosif version and it rides like your on a cushion of air as you si rightly say and is ultra fast to accelerate, I was fortunate to get the matching early TB
P2's that weigh sub 700g, weighed loads of other later TB ones, still all weigh 840g or more. Mine weighes 21.85 pounds without trying and when I ride it just can't help but think MTB's haven't advanced much in the past 20 years! The ride is just sublime!
Must get a Hot next too!

Re: Super build
Thanks, it is an 18, not sure how heavy the forks are or the complete bike to be honest.
Must say yours does look stunning, love the colour of these early 90's Kona's, that green is perfect.

OK it really is finished now.
Bet you're fed up of seeing this but had a few updates on this recently and need to make a decision on wheels so It can be complete. Here's a couple of pic's with updates.
Granny ring
P2 decals (thanks Gil)
Ringle H2o
Onza Ho Ti pedals
and the nuke proofs back on
Do I keep these and current mechs or go back to the Bullseye (7speed) and change to XT mechs. Either way there will be more controltech goodness coming shortly but this needs deciding now!
I'm swaying towards Nukeproof but..........

Leave the black tyres on, they look goos with the black stem, post, cranks etc.
Defo, amber walls not required. Lovely stuff!
Thanks guy's I had thought about bar ends and I had controltech ones BITD on my Clockwork so if any NOS ones come up I may go for them (let me know if you have any to sell BLACK please). As for the tyres I'm loving these, they're fast rolling light and I think suit the bike. May try some IRC on it though??
