Retro Guru
I feel i had better start a thread for this new project for me.
Back story, built a few retro builds previously, but having recently returned from a fantastic weekend at the Malvern Classics, and much drooling over the bikes from our childhood, me and a friend have decided to each buy a retro, with the aim of entering the retro XC race in a few years!....
With that aim, i set out looking for my dream bike from the school days, a top end Kona, and i managed to find this beauty! Bought from the original owner who had it resprayed by Bob Jackson a good few years ago.
My plan is to strip it down, check condition of everything, and to make it usable, swap out the pedals for my crank bros clipless, new seatpost, saddle, grips and tyres (the original parts will be fully refurbished and kept)
For now...the only pic i will take pre stripdown.
