Headset after a visit to the kero bath and ultrasonic cleaner. Nice fresh grease and all seems well.

Nice another great kona colour

Tonight, I stripped and rebuilt the rear wheel. I might get the front done tomorrow.

It was one of my top choices, the other being a 95. Needs a polish and a couple of touch ups, overall though it’s in good nick . One of the “mountain shock” decals is damaged so I’m thinking about changing them for “race light” ones.

This will definitely be part of the final build

Love this, flites are my fave. Perforated cover is sweet! Looks pretty mint

Shifting and stopping are sorted, although I can’t decide which levers to use?

With the lever choice: is one pair V Brake and the other Cant? The pivot looks further from the barrel on the lower pair

I’m pretty sure both sets are for v brakes. I like the look of the speed dial 7s but prefer the bright silver of the others. Or…. I could go xt parallel push with matching levers. I’ve got a few options, arch rivals are in the mix too.
The flite is pretty clean, it’s grey so I think it will be perfectly suited for this build .

Found it!

And these arrived today, sticking with the grey/silver theme of the build.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, no actual assembly of the bike will start till I’m sure I have all the parts, cleaned and ready. I’ve waited sooo long for this that I’m not sure I could handle sitting looking at a half built bike that’s waiting on one or two parts. That said, once the final part arrives. Stand back! I’m gonna be a man on a mission .
