I’ll post more pics soon but I picked up the Kilauea today. Lovely to meet Graham, the old guy who’d had it from new. Thinks he might still have the receipt and handbook somewhere and will send them on if he can track them down. Bike is is in good but grubby condition.

I bought this, didn’t think for a minute it would be this cheap. Hoping to collect t tomorrow. Been told the post isn’t stuck. Fingers crossed about the rest! Already mulling over putting on some black P2

Started adding some parts and I love how it’s turning out. I had the XTR m900 groupset put aside for it. Also some nice black ceramic Mavic 717 on American Classic hubs, these are super light. A little newer than the bike but they look great and the brake surface won’t wear when I use it (which...

I’d actually bought a set of white replacement decals from Gil at Retrodecals just after I found it. When the frame forks and stem were back from the powder coaters I had to find the decals. That took a while! The stem in a period cromo that’s 120mm with a little rise. The frame is 20” center...

Then it sat in my projects queue for a long while as a frameset which got moved about a lot in storage and during a house move. Greg Fuquay passing away in June 2024 spurred me on to do something with it by this time this year (2025 if you’re reading this in the future). I didn’t have a yellow...
