Gorgeous titanium Kona road bike from 1992. Frame is in excellent condition, except the original seat clamp has been removed and replaced with an alloy collar. This is not a problem, and can only be seen if you know to look for it. I'll post a photo. Full Dura Ace 7400 groupset (excluding...

Great bike, I've got one set up as single speed, otherwise I'd buy this one!

"The Turner RFX, first introduced in 1999, began life as one of the first purpose-built ‘free ride’ bikes renowned for excellent descending manners and efficient pedaling in a world where few bikes could do both. Subsequent models set new standards for longevity under the harshest conditions...

Sadly the time has come to part with my much-loved Turner RFX. It's a true four-bar (Horst Link) before Mr Turner was forced to go faux-bar and then dw-link. This is one super-active bike, with a fox piggy-back coil shock delivering 125mm (I think) of travel. It was their first free-ride bike...
