Kona Lava Dome 1991 (parts bin build content)

[2alexcoo]

Thanks to Old School Pete and the wondrous Bristol Bike Jumble, I finally have a Kona of my own!

It's a 19" 1991 Lava Dome, repainted in gold which I believe is the 1991 Cinder Cone colour. It's also got a cable stop for a rear v-brake, and the seat binder has been removed so a conventional seatclamp can be used.

It's a bit of a frankenbike build at the moment, but things will change over time. Current build:

Frame: 1991 Kona Lava Dome 19"
Fork: P2
Shifters: Deore thumbies (running 8 speed with hidden click)
Rear mech: M739 XT
Front mech: Hone (sorry)
Brakes: Deore Vs
Wheels: unknown Mavic on M750 XT hubs
Cranks: STX
Bars: Easton EA50
Stem: Kalloy
Seatpost: Selcof
Saddle: Bontrager C30
Tyres: Bontrager Mud-X

The rear cable stop:

Thanks also to Agency_Scum and cce for letting me join their Kona clique

Nice work, it looks really good, especially with the correct fork. I like the colour, it's actually brighter than the Cinder Cone, which was a bit of a muddy gold. It's quite reminiscent of this 92 Explosif IMO

Very nice build and nice colour too, I am glad the wheels have gone on a good bike, I think the rims is Mavic 220.

Nice one
