Hey all!
For sale is my '96 Kona Lava Dome Frame. This is a beautiful frame in the grooviest dark, sparkle green which has served me so well over the last 7 months.
I built it up as a drop bar 26" tourer which certainly turned a lot of heads and rode like a charm. I've come to realize however that is really doesn't fit me well enough. I like to have a really low standover frame, but the massive wedge of seatpost sticking out just isn't my thing.
The frame is in great condition with the paintwork in mostly ace condition. Little chips here and there, but really surprisingly good.
Sizes etc are as follows:
Once slight eccentricity of the frame was that it never had a cable stop at the seat tube end of the headtube so I had to buy a 'dog collar' adapter from SJS. I'll include this alongside the plain jane seat clamp with the bike.
I'm looking for £50 for the frame OBO.
I also have a matching wheelset (Which I had years before I bought the frame. Weird) with a Java the Hub front and XT Parallax rear laced to Mavic 220's with DT Spokes. The wheels have just been trued and are running very smooth. One of the silver cones that covers the bearings on the Java the hub has gone missing but I've ridden the bike through some atrocious conditions and it's still happy.
Looking for £40 obo for the wheels.
Will do the wheels and frame together for £80 posted via courier.
The bike is still built up as I don't want to have it in pieces and not sell for ages so if you are local to me (PH7 4HL) you are more than welcome to come see what a bizzare 26" tourer rides like
Here's two pictures of the bike during a tour around the Loire valley in full 'costume'
Cheers all, Jack
