Kona Misser replica 1997

[al-onestare]

I've just ordered a copy of that mag (article) too ^^

It's pretty mad he was winning on these things and there're still in one piece (well at least those ones).

Quality bikes, and a suspension design that worked very well

What number issue is it, do you know? just so i dont have to read through every copy to find it again

#64 apparently and I can't make out the month in the ebay pic

those Klein's are insane almost look a bit like a nodding donkeys


if we're playing spot the tiny detail - are you missing the rivinuts on the bottle bosses

Oh yes:

and what's up with these little grub screws? There's another one I found yesterday.

Christ..... 5 pages of this.. before the build has even started! :facepalm:

unless it gets spammed by THM - I thought all the best ones start like this..... capturing peoples imagination and sparking debate in the prelude to the build starting

didn't Mike Muz have a thread once that got to 6 or 8 pages and when the frame turned up it was bent to hell and therefore we never witnessed a spanner raised

Even better is when a poster posts my picture of my own MTB Spanish magazine that I have right in front of me (along with the December 1996 edition of MBUK) And let's me know the differences - we'll get to those my friend - I'm well aware of them

The difference is this will definitely get built and we'll filter rumour with facts wherever possible. As you can see, it's a very murky story but those are the best ones.

So, here are a few more shots including the most beaten up Bomber I've seen in a long time. I'll bet my mortgage there's zero oil left in them.

Not complaining BTW....

One question I do have (& one that might get scoffed at) but what’s your plan with the gold/bronze anodising damage?
Strip & start again? Or “history preservation” of warts & all?

Absolutely keep it as is - it's only original once.

Well that took a while next time i will start with the last box first

Yes, issue 64, June '07 im sure you will scan some good shots in when you have the mag, for now though...

Before I shut up and quietly pull up a chair instead

Is there a reason for posting hosted pics as some of your great threads have missing pics (sadly like a lot of others) it would be a shame to lose some or even all of them at some point in the future and with it a sauce of information archiving.

Like I said I’ll shut up now.. (promise)

No worries. I have everything on hard drives and I pay for my hosting i.e. it's "my" content
