Kona bike any condition considered

[bod]

I'm thinning my stable and want to get my favourite bike from back in the day. Not worried about condition, prefer full bike but will consider anything at all. A Cinder Cone would be nice but any bike from '94 would be good. Top price paid for what I'm looking for. I've got funds in my PayPal account right now and can also arrange collection at your convenience. I can also offer a free spray job to sweeten the deal as I work for a paint company, can also colour match the old colour very accurately using our 15 grand colour computer.
Cheers,
Matt

what size?

 

[kingofthescratchmonkeys]

Sorry- 16"....

Sorry,
Forgot to say it needs to be 18". Nice frame though, shame it's a bit small and the wrong year. Good luck selling it,
Matt

right, i have a rigid 94 lava dome which may be right up your ally, as the main down side is its paint. although i was going down the touch up route for a man in your postition a respray could be in order

the bike has been completely disassembled, cleaned degreased and put back together, hubs, headset, new bb, new cassette, new tyre, all new cables, new chill pills, and is looking pretty lovely,
chainset has been resprayed gloss black, and the deore shifters have lost their top sticker things

bad bits, needs new middle ring, and 4 spokes replacing on the back wheel as they have been bent by a chain slipping down the back, the rear rim also has a few dings but runs true enough. the velocity stem cap is missing also, and as with any bie i put hours and hours into i become very attached to them

the bike is so light you have to sit on it to keep it on the ground, spec is pretty original, other than alto pro bar ends and the bontrager rear rim has been replaced with a mavic something or other

was looking for around the £180 delivered, but then i am in need of a frame respraying in simple white and if you can collect I can negotiate.

wife has camera but can get pictures later if you are interested
