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.

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.

:lol: 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.

:D

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 >>>
