Re: Re:
Not yet, not even sure where it fits in to the queue of projects.
Your CC looks stunning though. What width tyres? They look a fraction wider than normal, which looks really sweet. I'll probably go down the M735 route too, rather than the lightweight factory spec (sugino cranks SS7s etc that came with it). Probably won't use the silver Bontrager rims either - anodized all the way. One of the bikes I'm most excited about building, despite a shed full of distinctly non blue collar frames.

Re: Re:
Thanks, think the tyres are 2.1, cant remember off top of my head.
I never really minded Kona's choice of components, and the fact they liked to mix it up a bit, on any of their bikes. Made a change from the complete groupsets on other bikes. Though i do quite like the bike now its finished, i think the black finish on some of the parts helps.

I agree, the black scheme definitely makes a difference, I think the black wheels are a big factor. You've inspired me to get mine back off the shelf. My components list is a much less attractive hodge podge but I just want it rideable and I will upgrade as I accumulate. Seat post is the lamest hold up.
Looking forward to the ride report!

Personally i think the frame and forks of these early Kona's are the main component as it were, as long as it works then it doesnt matter what parts are bolted to it.
Oh, and make sure you start a thread for it when you start building it
