Someone else on here has got a red one with black P2 IIRC? Can't find the thread though to post up a link. I've got an orange one, see my gallery, it's got the proper single-speed rear hub (110mm). Needs stripping and doing something nice with, but it'll have to join the back of the queue! 
Picture in my gallery shows it with a standard 135mm axle, i just stretched the dropouts to fit it!! :roll:

Such a cool bike, I am looking forward to seeing it finished.
What's that? Time for a pun? Ok if you insist...

wots wrong with the paint? its hideous, it makes the otherwise cool frame look like its from a £69.99 bike from halfords.
to be fair the paint was in quite poor condition, i would rather repaint something that deserved to be refinished than ruin something that had nothing wrong with it.

Excellent - looking forward to seeing what colour you opted for.
I built up my Kona SS in Jan but opted for common white with a diy paint job that is already looking poor, so will probably be respraying later in the summer. A gratuitous pic of it in current state:
Shamlesly modern too!
