    Re: Re: You're right. Looks like 17" like mine. Sure wish I had the matching paint forks though.

    So decals are just newer ones then?

    CHEAP FAT

    With that much bubbling, seemingly all over, what are the odds it's just a paint failure from bad prep and not rust? Wonder if the guy won a storage locker auction and found it in there?

    Re: Re: Well...... that's a shame...... :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: In that case, abrasive disk to cut and carbide bit to drill......be neat to hear what Ti tube wind chimes sound like! :D :wink:

    End of my ride...

    I do lots of custom work. Having said that, a) It's not cheap having me to do it. b) I'm in Canada, and I'm sure shipping your frame material here and back will be pretty prohibitive even with our pee-on colonist exchange rate.... :lol: It's the kinda thing you can do with basic hand tools/...

    End of my ride...

    Sorry to see that. But, on the plus side, it's steel. Carbon would have possibly been much more spectacular in a bad and bloody way. As a metal sculptor, if I may suggest, Wind chimes. Cut out the main tube lengths, TT, DT, ST, SS, CS. Clean them up and touch up the paint on the cut ends. Drill...

    The Flexstem is back!! Kinda...

    Could be a good thing for those that just want a bit of dampening on casual single track or gravel paths but don't want to run a heavy(er) sus fork. Be good to see a ride review. Can see a problem with them moving independently and that feeling really weird. Definitely don't see them for...

    Kona paint

    Getting a paint code for the original color doesn't always work due to the paint fading over time. Either get a painter to mix based on the color on the bike or get a few different silvers and mix and test yourself until you get joy.

    1997 Kona Explosif Frame Gold - Lost in post with My Hermes.

    Fingers crossed you get a good outcome and if he is selling "lost" items, the police catch him with enough stuff to make the charges more serious then if for a single item. Hopefully Herpes head office investigates and fires the pr**k. Once the police get done, maybe good to go to the local...

    1997 Kona Explosif Frame Gold - Lost in post with My Hermes.

    I'll ask him. From googling, seems like some of the single units are distance limited or require subscription so may not be very cost effective for individuals. Maybe a cheap pay as you go cell phone with one of those tracking apps parents use to keep tabs on their kids would be an option. At...
