'95 Kona AA

i forgot pics forst thing this morning, but by the time the rains came i'd thrown together this little Franken-Kona, as i was desperate to try it out.



dear sweet lord it accelerates quick

A little trip to one of the LBS' this afternoon proved fortuitous as what i thought was a rash descision on some sweet orange brake cables turns out to be a bit of luck as they can double as gear cables. Once the magura's arrive i'll have some naughty cable-type bling

Forks are on their way from Nomad14. Very excited about those. Bit deflated about the saddle. Thought i'd found a place with one, but turns out what was supposed to be an early next week delivery is now early November...another two weeks to wait. argh. how will i know if the grips match !?!

did i mention i'm excited abot the forks?

one last piccy. couldn't resist this shot..a little epiphany, it seems she is "the one"

*cue glorious chorus*

Looking great I had the AA the year it came out loved it

cheers dude we should sort out another brighton jaunt with everyone.

a little update - forks arrived..



brakes may arrive tomorrow, plus i need a top cap and some spacers. nearly there!

Yeah, i'd be up for that although this time i'll pay parking and won't cut it short lol

Looking good, what did you do with the forks that came with it? I would happily take them off your hands if only for spares asIi have the identical fork, albeit in much better (working) condition, on a 1995 Kona Sex Too that I am restoring. Great idea about the model paints, my aluminium frame is also looking pretty tatty, but yours looks to have come up a treat

Cheers dude

aah, now, do you mean the champagne coloured marzocchi's or the manitou's i robbed off my old GT?

I thought so, cheers Jon.

I used to live round your way development_cycle, so next time i'm back at my folks, i could pop them round?

Sounds good to me buddy, drop me a PM when you're next around the area.

Loving your work

Nice build, been keeping an eye on your progress.
Would look sexy with a brown charge spoon saddle, kinda remember you eyeing up mine on the brighton sea front ride.
Will be completing my build soon (Kona 1996 A A) Havent posted any pics yet waiting for the finish.
Hopefully hook up for a more rural ride next time and put the A A,s through thier paces.
