Only just spotted this. Looks good - steel Konas rock! \m/

Thanks Lynne, I do love it! Wouldn't mind a stable of steel Kona's all set up slightly differently...and a Kona road bike! :mrgreen:

(Elbows you out of the way)

Don't go bidding on anything I'm after! :twisted: Not much about at all in our size at the mo TBH, especially not steel. Did have half an eye on a Genesis IO Reynolds single speed frame....but I'm penniless and it's not a Kona.... :facepalm:

Re:

Bank holiday and bored, so as there were a 1001 other things I should have been doing....finally got around to altering the Kona! Much lighter weight, lower rise bars and stem, and plumped for an old set of Vredstein S-licks rather than some wider Schwalbe half and halfs.

Initial impressions from a few quick runs up and down the long drive here, very twitchy and a hell of a lot lighter. Not sure I like it though! :facepalm:

Fitted a 27.2 seat post too, thanks Mark Definitely a better fit, could be a bit lighter but at least I know now what size he'll take if I see a Syncros for £3 at the car boot....

(Soz for very insipid pics, camera has really had it)
