GT STS -DH CARBON FRAME
My gt sts-dh carbon frame, has only ever seen light use and always maintained by my local bike shop up until I stopped using it about 2 years ago. There is no play in the rear and shock works well although due a service. The frame has no structural damage so no cracks...
Handbuilt in USA by Sandvik this beautiful and highly regarded titanium Kona frame is something of a classic.
3Al 2.5 V seamless frame tubes
6Al 4 V BB shell and watercut dropouts
V brake posts
11/8th" Headtube
22.5" top tube
Takes 27.0mm seat post
No dents, deep scratches and certainly not...
Well, he went on to a website (kona retro I think) and was examining the welds compared to those in the kona catalogue. He also mentioned that the knock off Russian made ones had a kind of yellow tinge to them. I'll see if I can get him to post in here with more info..
I just spotted this thread... I did indeed have a King Kahuna for sale, it was sold to a lad yesterday who came extremely well prepared to check the angles, tube lengths etc!
It sounds like there are quite a lot of knock off Kona ti frames doing the round?
Anyway I think they are superb...
