I think it's probably a 1997 frame. Front mech cable stop moved to down tube in 1997 (thanks to Dave Mars for that info) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/show-us-your-voodoo.414932/page-4
That frame is a gem - looks in fabulous condition : )
I thought the IRCs with orange sidewalls looked good on the orange bike...better than either of the Wildgrippers - can't go wrong with orange and black
It's nice seeing fancy expensive bikes on this site, but the likes of this makes me smile more. Top job. Enjoy it.
Any relation to the Giant Stoneater?
This thread needs a bike. Even if it's a bit scruffy and not a winner.
Jonthefish's 1992 Kona Explosif pro
With scuffed and useful Onza bar ends
and other stuff
Don't think I have a reader's bike thread.
Anyone found/made suitable end plugs for attaching bar ends to thin-walled Ti bars?
Looks like the original reinforcement plugs/BERTS were quite thick walled. http://pedaldamnit.blogspot.com/2006/09/titec-118-tale-of-2-berts.html
