50 shades of red. 97 Kona Kula

It will be fine I'm sure unless doing a mammoth ride and then you have a few nice steel one that fit the bill better.

Looking forward to this the parts from the mf would be a good fit.

Such as the HONC entries open on the 4th

Doesn't look massive though. Imagine you would be after a 22" min Kona?

Indeed especially as Kona sizing is more on the smaller size. At 6 2 a 19" is almost too small and a 20" spot on for me. Hope it does fit the big man 'cause it should be a great ride.

Im 6 2 and rode a 21" most comfortably, a 20" is also fine. 19" did feel cramped.

Should be good to ride and blast around though, fine as long as its not too long distances.

Lovely.

Looking forward to it built up (bit concerned with all the red though but happy to reserve judgement!)

Are you mystic meg? I used the heavy but forgiving and non precious FS MF for blasts around my 8 mile local loop. Anything longer used the pioneer or Alves. The MF was also the guest bike. This will assume role in my stable. The pioneer is still my favourite as it seems to work so well as a package. Hopefully with the quality components going on this, it will build into a nice bike. I have a 97 kona headset coming from Denmark. Not sure how to fit it but will muddle through. Other than a cheap 400mm seat post, I think I have everything here.

Ok you decide? Two possible kona donors.

Xt from fisher inc mavic wheels. Red. Could swap to black bars.

SRAM brakes and oddments from GT

Either way the new bb and gold 97 sugino cranks from the snapped MF will go on.

A big hammer always works for me.

XT from the MF for sure.

What size seatpost do you need? Can have a look what I have (but it will be something ugly and basic).
