KONA KU STARS N BARS 1996

[Ernie]

Put a wanted advert out back in June /July time..and eventually with the help of Magas from the Austrian Contingent he helped me broker a deal for a Ku. Its as always with me a mixture of old and NOS. The forks were sprayed up by a company here in Plymouth. Also he "tidied" up the seat and chain stays.All other paint work was left as is. With the help of Gil_m i designed a fork decal. I also managed to get a set of the natural/butterscotch tyres for £35 from matt edwards{who has just joined..welcome bud.. its addictive }.. they are both rear versions.. might be lucky to pick up a front one one day. {just noticed that the front wheel hub is wrong way round :roll: ..thats shift work for you}. Thank you also to Pipmeister for all his "tech" help.

Thanks as always

Ernie

Lovely. Has to be one of the best paint jobs to be found on a bike.

Re:

Glad to see that it has all finally come together after your long search - as you said in your e-mail, "She looks cute".... oops, was that for my eyes only

I had been trying to fit those Triple Butted P2 forks to one of my bikes for a while, and never could decide which one, so I'm pleased that they have been put to good use at last! That is a great design in keeping with the original Stars 'n' Bars.
