Kona Hei Hei King Kahuna

Funny you should mention that Al, this is on my shortlist for Mayhem so if that comes about you are welcome to take a ride.

And I'm NOT weightweening, just taking an interest. The main reason being that I'm a generously proportioned chap, and so theres not much point crying over a few grams!

But yes, I noticed the 'race light' post wasn't exactly lightweight but it looks smarter than the alternative I have.

Re:

Looking good. I shouldn't be watching this thread. I'm seriously questioning myself as to why I sold you this :facepalm:

Yeah nice frame Rick. ;-)

Re:

This needs some more blue. That's my evening sorted. Nice set of Ti Glides I've had sitting around for a while and some blue nipples.

I don't build wheels often but every time I do I forget and make several wrong turns. Did the front first and had to take it apart and start again when I realised I'd messed up the pattern. Then the rear was easy. Even remembered to line the hub sticker to the valve hole!

That’s a tasty big kahuna burger!

Sun is shining so got some photos taken this morning. This is a lovely thing. Still no joy sorting the RST forks (not really tried to be honest) but the silver Bombers look and work great, just a little too weighty I reckon.

Right then, heads up. needs must so this is going for sale over the weekend. Anyone interested in the full bike before I break it down for parts? It's not going cheap but it is, as the kids of today say, incomprehensible jibberish. I mean awesome. Dammit.

(I'll put a proper sale listing up inabit)
