I got this 1995 kona aa as a by product really - i wanted the middleburn cranks that were on it!!
I decided to take advantage of a friends spray room and do it polar white!! and then we thought it would be a great idea to try and build a bike with zero black parts on it!! This was thought up because black always seems to be the dominant colour on bikes and i wanted to see if it was even possible!! Since then it has become an obsession
this is the result - its not quite finished - have some ringle hubs to build up and some schwalbe tubes that have machined extensions in silver
I even had elite(nick) machine me up a silver use shim and gil replicated all the decals with no black on!! (even the p decals on the paul levers are now red!!)
the gold jockey wheel is meant to mirror the brass on the hope skewers and the pauls levers.
even the writing on the tyres isnt black. i'm not sold on the tyres - might go to grey psychos
thoughts???
