Hi
Recently joined Retrobike and have recently been reunited with an old friend.
Back in 1995 i bought a new Kona Hahanna from Sunset MTB in cardfiff, i really loved it but unfortunately due to circumstances a couple of years later i did a deal with a friend at work, always regretted it and over the last couple of months have been pestering him to buy it back, i knew it was stood in his garage being used by his teenage son and gathering scratches and dust.
I remember fitting a few different parts when i bought it new ( xt cantis, gorilla grip brace, and rictchey megabite tyres), guess what, after wering him down he agreed to sell it back to me and here she is.
Just dont know whether to completely rebuild and respray or strip down and renew parts that need renewing, leaning more towards the latter.
