Re:

Polished up nicely in the sun.....

child stolen all my black spraypaint to paint a light fitting in her bedroom hence I didnt get the black bits tarted up :evil:

took it out for a spin later, tad too small but a great little ride, they X-press shifters takes time to get used to but works sufficiently.

Re:

Late night rebuilding the original front wheel, I'm no expert at this but happy to have a go at most cycle jobs, rather than 2 cross I decided to go radial ...... as I only had that length spokes

home made trueing stand setup and some background noise TV.

Re:

Hi I’m building the same frame any chance you could send pics of yours when finished with cable routing etc.
I’m trying to keep original as far as poss the catalouge doesn’t show much detail. Thanks in advance

Re:

Great Job..... I'm a Cannondale guy, but always had a soft spot for Kona's, another one saved.

Re:

bowser I'll get some pics up soon as I can fella

Jim, I often think that the beast of the east frames have a look of the kona geo, having had both in the correct size...... I prefer the cannondale BOTE, just saying

Radials are cool
