Actually yes, you are correct on the early Kona frames, but as I said, I was giving examples and I wasn't too good at wording that, if you read you will see I infer many manufactures used bonded inserts, and not that they all took 27.2 post sizes, but that the Titanium tubing frame manufacturers...

The GT was originally a 27.2 post, what you may have is 0.1 wear due to age, seat posts with grease and grit over the years, weight and flex etc, all adds up on an old bike. Or a missing bonded shim. Problem was, the shim was not all that deep, and if an owner ran a maxed out post height with...

Ti Glide rear? Purple? Jeez, I gave up some time back, in fact the last time I was here I was probably still selling stuff so I could make room for stuff because of baby stuff. I still have stuff in the loft, at least three rear wheels pre 97 that never got anywhere due to no matching front hub...

Well I will reply anyway, I am around 5.8 - 5.9, and found the fit fine.

Once again I apologize for the newness! For sale. Superb condition and rarely used Supreme DH from 2010, size S/M. Spec changes include a Vivid rear shock, Saint Chainset and Crank Brothers Headset, it comes with two headtube sleeves for adjusting head angle, both short and tall Boxxer crowns...

Sorry about the "modern" content, still got some old stuff to sort out too :wink: For Sale. Marin Rift Zone SE size small. 2008 model. A few upgrades to original spec include, Thomson post, Thomson Stem, Easton Carbon bars, Hope seat collar, Hope headset, XTR bottom bracket. This has sat...

I used that term hack bike a lot, an old bike with any old stuff that is cheap/free and keeps it running through summer winter, that can be safely locked just about anywhere as it is undesireable to a thief. My main form of transport to work n such. Like my still going old Trek 930. PS...

Hi all Not been here for a while, but in my opinion that is not a Litespeed ti stem. They were matt in finish, and had a two bolt clamp arangement nothing like that in the image posted, similar to the old Moots two bolt on a square block style. Same with the front bolt binders, usually...

I have one of those built up on an Atek rim, but would like a silver 32h to match.

A silver 32h version of that front hub is what I am after.

Yeah, wish I had, but I had not planned on building a bike with a threaded front end at that point. In fact I wish I had bought two, £16 a pop was a better bargain than I knew, if £60 is what they go for NOS. Still, I may just have to fork out someone's asking price for a headset at some...

Was after one of these or an XT myself, but the price is a bit steep considering what I saw these sold NOS at a local store for.

Shame it is not a silver 32h, but yeah I am also interested depending on spoke count and price?

Hi all, Something more down to earth here, I have a Kona Fire Mountain which though a little scruffy seems in very good condition. Anyone know which years this is? Original components were 300LX. I am requiring quite a few parts though so there will be plenty of wanted posts from me...

Hi all, Looking for a nice good condition 1 1/8th threaded headset for an old Kona Fire Mountain. I originally had an eye on a Mavic 316 which was Nos at £16, but forgot about it and missed it. Thinking of something nice like XT or Mavic but not too pricey. Cheers, Steve
