As I thought. Anyone who has a bar and original shim, can they post a pic so I know what I’m looking for 😀

So I am correct in thinking that USE bars did have USE shims as opposed to people just buying aftermarket ones? I’m doubting myself unless anyone says otherwise…

Before looking on tinternet for generic shims, putting out the feelers to see if anyone has a genuine USE bar shim? So 22.2 to 25.4mm shim - correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. Thanks, Santa 🎅🏼

Obviously first dibs for @KeepItSteel , but I’m after a 31.8 BP M732 FD in good condition if anyone has one.

Keen to also hear people’s thoughts on this, my f5 (recently new to me) has a basic headset (threadless) fitted new by the previous owner. I’m wary about removing/refitting with another one given the “sensitivity” of that area…..

No, too much other stuff going to get another bike. Heart said “do it”, head won over and said “leave it for someone else”……I start o new job on Tuesday and kids start secondary school too, throwing “another” bike into the mix is just the wrong time……besides, I’ve got my RC200 to work on.

I’m not keyed up on kona bikes, at all. Good info all the same though.

Seller thinks it’s a frame from the early 2000’s…

I’m in the same boat as you @d8mok, my 11yr old would probably come with me too and due to other family commitments, it would only be for one day - I just can’t justify the cost for a day out.

Still no bids, this is getting real dangerous now 🫣

keen to see a before and after if you go this route.

20 miles away from me, that’s dangerous
