Kona Lava Dome Help / STX Front Mech & Nuts and Bolts

[swarmy]

Hi,
So after 10 years in the parents shed my old '95 Lava Dome has been taken off the wall and Im looking at fixing it up.

The worst looking feature on it is all the rusted bolts for water bottles, bag rack etc

Im hoping it's really easy to answer ..so, is there anywere I can get nice clean, new replacement allen bolts?

Also, if anyone has a bottom pull STX front Mech, 28.6mm let me know!

Cheers

You'll need a 28.6mm front mech. I picked up a NOS 28.6 bottom pull STX from fleabay for a Lava Dome build only recently. The outfit is called something like Bankrupt Bikes. The mechs have seemingly been knocking around in a drawer for a while - at least the one they sent me had - but it was in good enough condition. I think they have a few of them. They're all bottom swing (the clamp band is low). Hope this helps.
