Why not ?

I worked in a factory that had a similar philosophy ....😃

I think it's pretty good . I was thinking of doing it to mine but was put off by the cost of the whole project - wheels , brakes , fork on top of the framework . I'd rather put the cash into a (more...) modern bike . If i had it , of course .

Definitely B18 - I'm only 5'8" and ride 16 or 18 Konas . It's a little taller than my 16" Cindercone but very close in length (i should take a tape measure to them....) . 19 would be like riding a farm gate for my little legs 😃 The year is confirmed as 95 ; i rode it that summer when the...

Complete !

After being thrashed into the ground (over 30k miles....) it was dismantled around 2009 /10 . The fork was serviced by Tim (Fork English) and....was never reassembled . Until three weeks ago . I had the foresight to stash a new XT cassette and a couple of Dura-Ace chains twenty years ago , i...
