Thanks. I'm hoping to make a swap locally but if that doesn't pan out then your fork looks like the best option I've seen.

Did you manage to sell your Project 2? It would fit a bike I'm sorting out.

@Hamster Thanks for the tip about the 27.0mm seat post. Bought one and fitted it today. Thought it was too big at first until I realised that the seat tube had a lot of dirt in it. Recleaned and regreased the seat post between repeated attempts to fit it, and eventually it fitted without resistance.

I have a Project 2 rigid fork with threaded 1⅛" steerer. 400mm axle to crown, 140mm crown to top of steerer. I'd like something similar with either * a 120mm threaded steerer OR * a 150mm+ threadless steerer Anyone want to swap? Some pictures below. View image directly from my hosting to...

I can see your point. If I was Planet X and I saw the popularity of the CRC toolkit (197 reviews and counting) then I guess I'd be on the phone to their supplier as quickly as possible too.

I'm so mean that I feel affronted when I find out I paid more than I had to on anything. I blame the parents. I bought the X-Tools toolkit mentioned in an earlier post and liked it. Saw it again today, rebranded as "Jobsworth", on the On One and Planet X sites...

Re: X-Tools Bike Tool Kit 18 Piece - Get it for £19.99 !!! Am kicking myself because I've just found _exactly_ the same toolkit for a little over half the price :( On One / Planet X have the same toolkit branded as "Jobsworth" http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/TOJWTK/jobsworth-tool-kit I've...

Re: Nice. I'll just hang around here near the source then. :)

Re: Yes, the decals are definitely recent. Now that I think about it, I think the previous owner said that he'd had it painted too, which would make my comment about the colour matching the catalogue a bit of a red herring. Does anyone know if there is a go-to "What's my Kona?" type site? I'm...

Thanks for the tip. The measurements that I can take while it's half in pieces (chainstay length, top tube length) are correct. The colour looks right too. In the catalogue picture there is a rear cable guide for cantis that is the same colour as the frame. Maybe that was removable? The current...

Threadless 1⅛" FSA headset. Seems to be about £50 in a lot of places but On One are selling their last 20 for way about 15 quid. http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HSFSOX/fsa-orbit-x-headset

Saw a 27 piece x-tools toolset on CRC for just a fiver more, but then realised that the higher piece-count is a bit artificial. The kit mentioned by the OP includes an external bottom bracket spanner and a hollowtech tensioning tool that the more expensive set lacks. I went with the one...

Hi everyone. I've been given a 90s steel Kona Fire Mountain. It's a 16" frame... I think I've found the serial number under the bottom bracket shell. It's in two parts and a little difficult to read because of the paint job. I think it is H8C3 6488 . Does anyone know if I can use this to...
