1992 Cindercone (Road Mongrel)

Slight change of plans (don't you just love the job market :cry: ) means that priorities had to be changed, so the '92 Cindercone has become my road mongrel for the time being with a destinctly non-retro hotch-potch build. The front mech, bars and Sora STIs are now on there third Kona frame, started with a '91 Fire Mountain, then to a '98 Kilauea which is now being returned to near original spec).

Very similar to my plans for the explosif Although I'd have levers higher up on the bars and, by the looks of it, perhaps a longer stem

How do you get on with the STIs working with cantis? Thinking of using campag ergos with discs :shock:
