Kona AA frame + a vintage selection of random components!

[areasix]

1994 AA frame (18" I think) which I built back in the day when real bikers didn't need shock absorbers. Anyone who reads this post will know what an AA was like - this was the best cross country frame I ever owned, and with front shocks fitted it was perfectly poised on a fast downhill.

When I built it the weight was approx 21lb's

The frame is in purple, and whilst it runs and turns like a new ride, it's looking a bit tired and the rear stay has been abused by the chain. The rear wheel now has a couple of broken spokes (been jammed at the back of the shed for 10 years) but despite everything, not a single component has a sign of rust

Most of the hardware was LX, although I had a Zoom stem and seatpost, velocity Impact headset, grip shifts, and Mavic 231 rims. Panaracer smoke and dart tyres still fitted (gumwalls)

I have no idea what it is worth, but if I say £125 to give an idea of what seams reasonable to me :? , it would be nice to not give it away. I'm only selling because all the kids now have bikes, and I need to make a space for fully suspended toy!

The Bike is in Lincoln, England and I can supply photo's (once I've dusted it off!) :roll:

I just need to figure how to post pics and it's game on (technophobe)!!

I measured the frame. Bottom Bracket to top of seat tube is 19", and headset to seat tube is 22.75". Although the receipt said 18" frame, I never measured it once in 17 years, I just know it fitted me perfectly (6'0" tall and 31' inside leg)

I backed out cause the frame is too big for me, so I guess you've got second dibs now mate :?:

Depending if I'm a total clutz or not, you should see some photo's below

Back to Cars - The Focus went in 2008 - Runs a 575HP Zetec that was originally in it in 2003 (when 460HP). I have an Evo 8 currently - T666BHP on the number plate if you see me around!

Back to bikes, I ride a Giant Trance normally, but looking to build something much lighter
