I absolutely love this bike but I have just one criticism from a personal point of view;

The saddle doesn't quite cut it...

What you want is the Annivesary Flite - it would be a perfect match for the paint (I had to tone mine down with black boot polish :roll: )

IMHO that would be gilding the lily...

Middleburn rings inspired choice BTW (but please stand that front brake noodle up!)

Cheers, black saddle will be offered up soon

V brake noodle is just fine, don't want it slipping backwards and wearing the paint on head tube in any way or form.

SCARAMANGA.....

Grips on way don't you worry your Moobs about them see tomorrow at AC hopefully

I did say it was my personal preference...

...you'll see what I mean when I post my e-stay special as the blue powder coat is similar to your colour, if slightly lighter...

But as a die-hard Kona fan I definitely think this one of the best I've seen - and the Kilauea is second only to the Explosif in my affections...

That's bloody lovely mate! I just need to find the right 20" kona frame and I can start my own custom effort... Btw the brown spoon looks just fine to me!

Been for a lovley ride this afternoon on my local route in the Lansdown hills near me between Bristol & Bath. Weather was rather tropical

The old kona feels great didnt miss a beat, Here are a few pics of it (with bar plugs)

Absolutely brilliant Are you using Castrol 'R' for lubing?

That's my kind of retro bike - still in the spirit but nicely hot-rodded.

Simply beautiful.

Two points:
1 I've never gone for lay-back posts
2 You need to mix a stronger concentration of orange in your water bottle.

See you on 23rd.
