1991 Kona Cinder Cone - Refresh

[JCS]

You’re right, I should really use a larger frame. But too much sentimental attachment to this one. I want to keep riding it as long as possible.
In saying that, if anyone has a large Explosif, Hot or Brodie frame spare, please let me know

How tall are you JCS?
I’m 5.10 with 31” inside leg and ride 19” konas which theoretically is correct for me. My aging back reminds me otherwise

Great build story. Thanks for the nail varnish match info. I have one of these nearing build commencement.

The shake-down ride with new components went well. It’s great fun to ride.

This one is still getting a lot of use even though the Explosif joined the fleet. Various family members love riding it.

It's back on the Panaracer Pasela's for a bit more speed and flat bars have replaced the riser bars.

The cover of the Flite (1993 model) saddle has started to disintegrate, so for now a different saddle is fitted. It's a no-name brand but is very comfortable.

If anyone has a spare dog collar (the plastic brake cable guide on the seat tube) please let me know - I need a replacement.

Now re-united with a period correct Velocity stem. Looking better and going well on the trails.
