Now on eBay.....! for any of you that may be interested... my Kona is now on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kona-Lava-Dome-19 ... 240%3A1318 Thanks all and please feel free to ask questions if you have any, Shreddie

....Wahey! another '93 Lava Dome, looks in good condition too. It is hard to decide what to do, i want to do the right thing for the bike. So far i'm definitely not going to respray and the forks are staying on. I think all the suggestions of different types of grips and supports etc should...

...yeah i totally agree although i do like the idea of starting from scratch, making something like new again. Will you be posting some pics of yours on here when finished Craig?

Ok cool, will do!....

thanks to everyone for your input, you've been a great help and it's given me lots to think about, some excellent links too. If i ever decided to sell this bike, apart from eBay, is there anywhere else that you guys use?

...so in an ideal world i guess a new crankset, chain and cassette would do the trick? Do the 3 components bed in? as in if i were to buy just a new crankset and chain would the original cassette effect the performance of the new parts?? And are there any other components that would effect...

Im loving your Lava Dome there 8lezard, what an amazing job. What made you decide to respray in the end?

...no re-spray now after hearing everyone's comments. I'll bear you in mind for sure if i ever decide to sell the P2's although if i do it will be as a complete bike me thinks.

...yeah it seems to be in good nick. I've think i've just discovered the 'slipping' problem. After a proper, close up inspection of the bike i've noticed the teeth on the crankset are seriously warn. The teeth have become 'shark fin' shaped instead of triangular, definitely enough for the...

Aaah ok, so is there anyway of knowing for sure? what's the best way to diagnose the problem? Apparently it only happens when you push down hard on the pedals, when trying to move off quickly

Thanks Anthony, sound advice there, again very much appreciated. It seems it's quite a cool community on here, very friendly and helpful. I'll go with your suggestion of trying out the p2's for a while. I was given the bike by one of my best buddies and as of yet i haven't taken it out due to...

Craig you're a legend! thanks mate, they look like they'll do the trick

...it seems to be pretty conclusive at the mo... 8 to 1 in favour of 'keep original' I really appreciate all your thoughts

if you ever find them again i'd really appreciate the link, thanks for the tip and i'll have a look into it.

cool, i'll give that a try, appreciated. Off to the shops it is then, a big fat front tyre and a rear hub and i should be good to go.

yeah i've heard good things about the p2's but my dilemma is my f*cked up wrists, i've had about 5 broken bones in my lower arms and wrists over the years, it kinda hurts going downhill off road!!! im sure suspension would help... mmmmm, decisions, decisions, different bike or a f*ck load of...

Got ya..... i must be about 2 paces behind everyone, just found the BikePedia link on here showing the original specs, brilliant, and i've stumbled across a different thread about a Lava Dome showing the year of a Kona like mine, great forum, i guess i should spend more time looking before...

Excellent, original it is then... I think what i'll do is source some decent suspension forks. What kind of price should i be looking to pay? what manufacture's should i be looking out for? i don't want to be going mad on price for now.

nice one, thanks. Does anybody know if the original suspension forks made for this bike are any good?

ok cool, thanks for that. Im just trying to work out it's year, any ideas???
