1991 Kona Lava Dome

Had this a little while now,using it for road/winter bike,a bit heavy but a good ride.RC30 forks need sorting in the spring,for now a quick coat of plasticote primer and a couple of coats of black,just to stop any more corrosion over the winter.Mostly retro build,apart from the 105 rear mech.
Hope headset is new as well,but wanted something i could fit and not need to mess around with.Would have fitted a King like my other rides,but too impatient to wait for Aspire to deliver!! :D :D

Looks cool,

Thats a lot of seatpin showing are you wearing a cricket box to protect your tackle for when the post snaps :-)
 
There is as much post in the frame as out,so no worries there.I have never had a post break,even a rubbish one,like in this bike.Anyway,i am quite skinny so i should be fine!Would like a Syncros post though,in 26.4 or a Control Tech if there is one out there. :D :D
