Haha I have gotten lots of people wanting the forks. I have decided to do full race face Xy seat post.. the right way around ;) System stem Air alloy bar Red turbine cranks For the drive train I'm doing Xtr m950 derailleur Xtr m950 shifters Avid speed dial 7 levers Avid arch rival 40 brakes...

I'm really split on how to build this 1997 Kona king kikapu I picked up. In to sure if I should do xc light build flat bars, long stem, v brakes, narrow rims, narrow tires. Of early dh with riser bars short stem, wide rims, wide tires, hs33 brakes. Any ideas ? Thanks!

What!? Did you pay through PayPal? Why the hell would he send somthing white no payment? Seems like a dodgy seller

He probably mesured wrong. You should be measuring from the centre of each hole. Rear shocks are set in their length there is no way to extend or shorten them. Sounds like the guy just doesn't want to part with his money. Worst case sell it and get a fox haha

I don't know if it's just me but the radial laced front wheel looks a little out of place with the beefy lawhill fork. Otherwise looking good!

Re: 1994 (?) Parkpre scepter Comp Love those bargain finds. I once found a 1992 Rocky Mountain equipe for $20 haha. Those brakes look interesting what are they?

Thank you :D I'm use to having the seat post low unless I'm doing a long ride, from my background of more technical riding. I'm thinking it still needs some tan wall tires. I'm having a hard time tracking some down. I had 2 pairs of togia wonder dogs but gave them away with bikes :facepalm: I...

Here is some before and after. Looks like I put the non drive side decal a bit lower that it should be :(

Stoped raining long enough to get some decent pictures

Ha ha Ha it does look like the hanger was welded on. I don't know if I was by the current owner or somewhere through the life of the bike. I don't think he would've done that, so it is probably an old repair. Looks like it would've taken a special hanger and they couldn't find one so they welded...

Hmm didn't notice that. Maybe a different model year? Everything else matches up right down to the hole in the rear brake cable stop.

Nice thank you theMountie. Any history on it? Was it stock with xtr? Definitely interesting

He wants to use it for some back county touring and camping

Posting this for a friend. No idea what it is looks quality from the welds and cable stops. Interesting features such as and extended top tube that attaches to the one piece seat stays. Please help it's driving me nuts not knowing!

Re: See what I mean? It has a lot of power but looks funny
