Rojo's 1997 Kona Kilauea

I thought the post and bb would be a nightmare aswell.

Looks really nice , chuffed

amazin what £20 can get you

Top bargain, top bike, top build, top man...

Two pairs of brake pads, chain, set of brake and gear cables all picked up today from my local bike shop. Think this will be finished tomorrow morning

Thanks mate

Is this going to be making an appearance at a SW ride?

Hopefully mate

It is tough time at moment as my nan's husband died today but in new year hope to get out more

Cool, want to see that white kona in the flesh too

Will try pop that in car aswell

Got a few more builds in new year to do aswell

That's it 99% done now

Chain, cables and brake blocks all fitted. Got a stubborn cable pinch bolt on the front brake, so waiting to see if it'll free up with a bit of gt85. If not may have to resort to a drill or see if there's a spare at my local bike shop I can have.

Surprised only one bolt out of the whole bike has given me any issues, given that the bike had been left outside for a while. I've removed all the bottle cage bolts and rack bolts which were a bit stiff, copper greased them and popped them back in. This should help prevent any future issues.

Just need the weather to fair up a little bit and then I can set the gears up and make sure everything's well. Then can get a few pictures before boxing it up and sending on to Rojo.

Quite a satisfying mini project and one that I hope will serve Rojo well
