    Show us your 700C ATB / MTB / Hybrid

    Got my Phd (´06 I believe) ready just before Christmas. Couldn't source a decent canti fork with a long enough steerer. A compromise was a cheap alu disc fork. Some parts are sourced second hand. DT Swiss front wheel, Bontrager TLR rear, 105 cranks, X9 RD + X0 shifter, TRP front disc caliper...

    Kona Humuhumu Nukunuku A Pua deluxe 2005

    Hi folks. Thought I would share my Humu build. It's an ongoing process. It's been a fun trail bike for sure after getting rid of the heavy cruiser parts. Some may say "lipstick on a pig" but I don't care. XTR brakes/SRAM drivetrain, 27.5 carbon wheels and other modern gear may not be to everyone...

    Kona PhD - frame colour ?

    Need some help here. This Kona PhD which I believe is from 2010 needs a headset. Haven't worked with this standard for ages but it looks like Integrated - aka the bearings that is resting on the frame without cups. The width is about 41.x mm. https://99spokes.com/en-EU/bikes/kona/2010/ph.d...

    Kona PhD - frame colour ?

    I went through the different label design and it's a 2008. The sticker on the downtube is unique for this year. Not a bad bike back in the day with 105/ultegra components. The color was white only ... with some shiny details. I'll try and clean the frame up and see what's hiding beneath the...

    Kona PhD - frame colour ?

    Hi Retro folks A friend of mine gave me a fairly patinated Kona PhD frame. Thing is that I'll have brush down some severe oxidation in the rear frame including the BB area. It could be fixed with some black Hammerite and a new black carbon fork. But if I could get hold of the name of the...

    I’ll do that. Rode a F600 back in day and that had plenty of slope.

    Singular is nice but I was hoping to find something more retro/vintage. But I’ll have a look at the Singular back catalog. The Gryphon has the frame geometry I’m searching for
