1998 Kona Fire Mountain

[ekiborter]

So when I was a kid I used to beg my mum to buy me a Kona MTB.

She couldn't afford it.

So anyway now I'm older and have my own money lol...
I've decided I want a Hei Hei to relive my youth (well the dreams of my youth).

So until I get the Hei Hei built this will have to do.

1998 which is a little later than what I had in mind but hey it's a fun build.

XTR 8 speed with Topline cranks, TA rings, X717 rims, firexc tyres 1.8, kona seatpost, syncros stem, titec titanium bar, woodman bar-ends and way too modern duke fork and WTB saddle.

I've been out on this twice now and love it way more than any modern mountain bike.

(thanks to all who supplied parts )
