I happened upon this frame while looking for a steel lava dome/cindercone to sit alongside my AA.. The chap i contacted on here looking to buy his lava dome suggested i may be interested in his kula frame..Not really interested i said as i had a decent alloy kona..He said he would send pics anyway and i like to see nice pics of frames so why not..!
Upon seeing first image i knew i was buying And the plan was hatched to flog AA frame and transfer parts..?
Tracing the sale of this frame back it was owned by 3 retro biker's on here
not including original owner..
