Kona Explosif**withdrawn from sale**

[Jones]

18" 1998 Kona Explosif bit of chainsuck but its only paint no deep gouges and no dings, dents or rust. £150 posted. Now £140 posted**withdrawn from sale**

Something a bit different Louise Robinsons Reynolds 853 Ex Team Raleigh, stamped with her name on the BB shell as well as decals.

Its VERY light I haven't got scales accurate enough to give a weight but its under 4lbs by some way.

Geometry is a little odd, its 1" head tube for starters, seat tube is 17" centre to top and 15" centre to centre.

Top tube is 20 1/2" measured along the tube so quite short.

Little bit of surface rust but nothing serious and no dings or dents but its missing its head badge £80 posted. Now £70 posted

Next up a little Saracen, don't know what model but its one of the ones from bankrupt bikes on ebay.

Seat tube 15" centre to top, 13" centre to centre, top tube 21 1/4" measured along tube.

Comes as pictured frame/fork/ brand new FSA headset/seatclamp/ seatpost and stem for £55 posted

Reduced the prices on two but the Saracen is as low as its going unless you want it without the headset.

Ebay beckons at the weekend as I'm moving soon so don't want to take these with me.

Are the bosses on that Saracen for V-brakes or cantilevers?

There's only 2 of them, so look like V brake to me

Cheers - I've never used V-brakes, are the bosses lower on the stays than cantilever bosses? There would only be two cantilever bosses too. Not sure I've understood that properly...? At any rate am I right in saying that the two aren't compatible?

 

[unkleGsif]

Ah....

Crossed wires. I thought you meant the cable bosses.
V brake and Canti use the same actual pivot bosses, so are basically identical, the difference is the cable bosses

PM sent concerning the Saracen.

Edit - and a second PM. I was keen on the Saracen for my missus but she's just told me she isn't, so I'll have to keep loking. Sorry about that... :x
