Some part of me really wants this. I’m sure it would be a lovely frame to build on. But I just can’t part with £150 for the fact that chainsuck had worn away a lot of paint, the top kona decal has been peeled off, and there’s the stuck seatpost

It’s got a nice ti bb though

Thoughts?

Seller actually offered me £100

If the bb wasn’t stuck and chewed I’d say go for it, but it is, so I won’t!

He says “smooth as silk”

And I do not have expertise in removing stuck seatposts. But i do have a large assortment of hammers

Smooth is great but only if you’re happy to keep it in there and find a chainset to suit. With that and the stuck post I’d walk away from it at that price.

hmmm, I might give it a punt at some counter offer. I have been collecting some xt m735 stuff so would be a nice upgrade.

The splatter paint konas look the best imo.

This one has been discussed before I am sure. General consensus is that is not a Royce BB if I remember correctly.

You’d be correct and just checked now.

Royce ti bb’s don’t even have teeth. They have the weird ones that I don’t know the name of.

It could still be ti though

Good point. The Royce bb's normally have a 6 pin cup iirc
