An old post revived! I've done it up. Got it resprayed in metal flake black (nice) added some (modern) red hope quick releases to complement the red bars, sourced some nice period XT kit and a brand new Deore crankset with external bearings (at £50 I couldn't say no), some new hand built wheels...

Does anyone know where I can get hold of replacement bolts that hold the quadlink bearings in place for a 2004 Marin? They have a design flaw where lateral movement of the swingarm leads to cracking of the Allen head from the bolt leading to suspension failure. I'm onto my third set now and...

Well seeing as I have been on e-bay and having started buying bits I guess I've decided. When I bought the frame I thought I was getting the orange one (92-93) but ended up with the new colour, slate grey. I think I'll try and get it painted in the orange. Does anyone know how I can find out...

It means quite a lot to me really as I'm an old softy :oops: and I now need a commuter bike with a bit of off-road capability, so I guess it's going to get fixed up. They don't need to remove the seat post as it's set to my size anyway. At least it does mean that the six hours I've spent...

I have just stripped down my 94 Kona Cindercone and am wondering if it's worth doing up. I suspect I'm asking the wrong people here but the frame is pretty tired as It's had some hammer over the years. There is lots of rust on it (the chain stay has no paint left on it), the seat post is well...

I rode a 19" Kona Cindercone (1994 model) for many years I'm 6'. My stem was a 125mm jobbie with about 10° rise. I know this because it is sitting next to me on the table.

Ahhhh a friendly bunch, that's nice. I'm off to my Ma's again but when I'm back and I've got my new bushes fitted...

I managed to find some in a shop, they weren't spec'd for my bike but I've got some bits machined to make them fit. Thanks for looking though. I've only got the spacer back today, so in my defence I was still officially looking for some :wink: keep hold of them though just in case I need to...

Bump Anyone?

I'm doing the filial duty this weekend, I'm off to see my Mum but thanks for the offer.

oh sorry, this should have gone in the intro section could someone move it for me?

Re: My 1994 kona cinder cone result! ooooh it's just like mine! 'cept mines got black forks and red (?) bars

Hi I'm new. I was introduced to retrobikes by my local bike shop when I went in to buy something for my "new" bike, they suggested I try retrobikes - I felt snubbed! But once here I realised I kind of fit in, I have a cupboard full of stuff that never got thrown away, several Smoke/Dart combos...

How much for the fishy? I like the TISO

Good plan but unfortunately there is more to the these as they are an upgrade and so need the specific bearing body too, they replace the glacial bushes that came as standard and wear out every fortnight. I have found some but they don't fit the TARA system; they would fit my Whyte Preston-1...

Not very retro granted but I need/want some of these to fit a 2004 Marin Wolfridge with the TARA system. Has anybody got any or know where I can get some - in gold obviously :D
