Probably the last old MTB thing that was at my parents' house - the pride and joy of my teenage years and now home-town "pub bike".
It's a 19", 1996 Kona Kilauea (the Columbus Cyber one). It was repaired by Argos about a decade ago when it snapped by the rear dropout - they sprayed the repair black, so it's not a perfect cover-up but it's not amazingly noticeable as the paint is fairly dark. Lots of chips and scratches, a bit of surface rust, but no dents. It has both the original seat collar and cable guide.
Comes with the original Project 2s, the original headset and the original stem. The seatpost (original) is bent (too many wheelies as a teenager) and is going in the recycling, but it's there if you want it.
Bars are 24" X-Lite flat bars. A surprisingly contemporary set of bars, considering they are 20 years or so old. Grips are Onza Porcipaws, but these will probably be cut off if the bars come off.
Brakes are XT vees - BL-M950s? Decent condition, not too much pivot slop, although the noodles are a bit rusty.
Wheels are basically original (Kona front hub, a Shimano Parallax hub on the rear, Mavic 221 rims) - I changed the rim on one of them, but used a NOS 221. Stickers are slightly different, but they're basically the correct rims for the bike. Currently shod with some slicks - Marathons, I think.
Cranks and BB are some cheap Octalink things as the tapers on the Curves were basically made of Dairylea. There is a single speed kit with tensioner on there too. Pedals are Primo Super Tenderizers, but I was planning to keep those unless someone is desperate for them.
Would there be any interest at around £250? If not I'll price it up to split.
It's in Solihull - happy to deliver it to Birmingham, Leamington, Warwick, Stratford-Upon-Avon or anywhere inbetween/a similar distance.
