Sell the tequesta

:shock: sell the tequesta :shock: the thought did cross my mind and then someone speaks ( well types ) wot im thinking. well that settles it then the GT as got to go. unfortunatly ive allready stripped it and nitromorsed the forks and stem so its going to have to go to powder coat before it sells but could be a good selling point as it would be done in colour choice for the new owner.

Good choice.
The caldera is a much better bike all round.

well ive just had a quick ride to the end of the streetand it does feel nice to ride, but the forks and tyres will need to go for some rigid and road tyres.

Off topic a little, but I wouldnt powdercoat the frame if you are paying for it. You wont get that amount back (unless you can get the job done cheap) when you sell the tequesta.

Lovely kona by the way.
