This came to me via ebay after much pissing about, heartache (for several people) and a spiralling price tag. It arrived as a full bike which I was going to enjoy fettling up but when it arrived it became clear that there was too much knackered and scruffy stuff on it to restore as a bike. When stripping it bare in order to start afresh I discovered the headset cups were not as tight as they could be in the headtube, I had it brass filled, faced and reamed to the correct tolerances and started to clean off the crappy paint in order to do a "home spatter job" but I find my attentions have moved in a different direction and this is sat idle, this combined with all the clobber I bought this week means its time to pass this over to somebody who will do it justice. Anyway here it is, a 19" kona explosif in need of a paint job, included is the original 1" velocity stem and (if they are wanted) a scruffy xc pro (or maybe comp,i'm not sure) chainset, a tatty stronglight headset, a manky set of deore beartrap pedals and a mingy short cage xt rear mech. I pulled all these bits straight off without checking them in any way so consider them spares or repair, they may be usable with a spot of brasso and elbow grease. I have a pair of xc pro shifters which can go in too if I can figure out how to put the mechanism back together. Finally theres an xc pro front hub on a mavic m231 cd rim which I just rebuilt and fitted with fresh cartridge bearings, theres front and rear suntour q/r's too.
Dont expect a polished dream bike, more of an entertaining/engaging rebirth project.
