You can usually get a cardboard bike box from Halfords (that they received a bike from their warehouse in) then take the wheels off and pack it in there. Put a spacer between the rear forks so they don't get squashed, make sure nothing can rub. Remember bubble wrap is useless to prevent pointy...

Thanks, yes, that's the main thing. I always wanted one back in the day, so took the chance when it came up. But you can't keep them all . . .

I need to find a new home for this Cinder Cone. I think it's a '94 or maybe '93. I bought it in bits a few years ago and rebuilt it, with the original bits or some contemporaneous (or nearly) bits & bobs. I think it's quite an unusual colour, I don't remember seeing many/any in grey at the time...

We actually had two at one stage, I bought mine at full whack from the LBS, about 800 IIRC then the wife's a year or so later for half that (small frame leftover). Oh well. . .

Re: Yes, it's very different . . . quite impressive weight though, considering it's not carbonium. I have a number of steel bikes in the stable but none that I'd be able to liberate. Ok, thanks, I'll bear that in mind. Although if I had the makings of a Kona like that, I'd probably built it up...

Well, I have a (somewhat different kettle of fish) Scott Scale 50 frame weighs 1.5kg, aluminium with aramid winding. Would need forks, disc wheels, blah, however. Wants 120mm travel I think, and is of an XC geometry - I went a more slack route eventually. I spose it could work if you also had a...

Re: Alas, it's true :(

Surely he must be ready for an upgrade by now? ;o) It's an idle fancy at the moment, so yes, I'll just hang out and see what comes up.

Yes indeed. Page 5 of 48 in the scan of the 1994 catalogue. Ahhh. Sadly after the "close encounter of the dog kind" there was a neat pleat in the down tube and a very steep head angle. I had concussion for about a week. Oh well. Maybe I'll find one. Otherwise might look for a contemporary Kona.

If anyone has a 1994 Edge frame and forks (the metallic bronze one with green decals) in 17/18" (or whatever it was - not the 16.5 and not the 19) I'm looking for one. Mine was killed in collision with a dog and I've often wished I still had it. Did the coast-to-coast on it back in about 1995...

Hi, I'm looking for a 1994 Dawes Edge XT frame and forks, the 17" 18" approx size. Sort of light brown metallic with green decals, it would be. I had one and loved it dearly, sadly it was killed in collision with an out-of-control dog (as I nearly was, but only nearly . . . . ) Just thought...

Re: Plan is to get it rideable and then maybe have it painted - hence the interest in the colour. Bob Jackson does what looks like a really good deal starting at £100 - but sadly no colours even close to the mythical blue. Sadly it doesn't have the original forks. The frame number is 732, and...

Re: I have a 1948 Stallard, and according to my Dad (who bought it new) it was a light blue - like a duck-egg blue, as far as my folks can remember. It's orange at the moment but that was when we had it resprayed in the 70s so I could ride it . .
