Fantastic transformation. Really glad this turned out well after the journey to get to this point

Thanks man, I even forgot about the dents in the top tube that @danson67 rolled out for me. It’s been a really journey this one!!

That's amazing, certainly looks as good a respray and repro decals as I have seen. When I finally get round to doing mine I'll be back here for the inspiration and information.

Thanks man, that’s a big compliment from someone with so many rare Kona frames!

I supplied the decals from Gill at Retrodecals. I measured the ones on the frame and got him to match them exactly (size, colour, style etc)

I’m going mostly silver (stem, cranks, etc) but with M952 XTR parts but I’ve also got NOS USE handlebars and seatpost till I find some very good condition Controltech silver ones!

Nothing wrong with the USE stuff and I like that it’s blue but I’d like it all to be shiny silver and I like the controltech stuff but it’s hard to find.

That or Syncros, it’s a 26.8m seatpost which is not easy.

want to get rid i keep an eye out for you I seen a few controltech bits in silver recently
