I've had this one for a couple of years+ now. Just got it stripped with Nitromors this week ready for a Kona white respray. I've been collecting 3dv and XT bits for it >>>

Kona white indeed! That poor frame, what has it done to deserve such a fate?

Why not model it on a 1994 Blizzard? That looks better than any Kona, even a real white Kona. And in a different class to the multitude of bogus white Konas of course.

Would it look even more Dale Winton with some green Wildgrippers on?

Just curious if I'm reading this correctly. A Rocky Mountain Blizzard being stripped and resprayed as a Kona? Why not just use a Kona frame? That Blizz is pretty cool and kind of unique as far as tubing and the odd decals for RM.

Just curious.

Hi BP.

Nope what I meant was the frame will be getting resprayed in white (which is the same colour as most Konas get resprayed in!) It will be getting new RM Blizzard decals.

Ahh ... got it. Thanks for clarifying although I may have been the only one to read it that way. Should be sweet when its done. I have a 93 and re-sprayed it and got repro-decals to orginal. I was never a huge fan of the decals but I thought at the time, I should keep it that way ..... I kinda wish I would have had some fun with it but it's done now.

I meant to ask, what fork is that?

Have you posted any pics of your bikes on here?

The fork is a Saracen one, (I think). Not too sure if it's staying on now as I've got an early Race Face Stem that requires an alloy steerer to fit it >>>
