After seeing this frame change hands a couple of times, I just completely fell for it..

Luckily I managed to get what I wanted for my Kona frame and decided to purchase this from Jamabikes (Adam)

Unfortunately the parcel company snapped the rear mech hanger & due to having no UK importers, I've had a nightmare getting a mech hanger but managed to source one from France, finally fitted it & had a test ride around the block to discover my front wheel is almost square !!..

Had to take it to local shop (The Cyclery Uppermill) and I was sorted out for a good price & cake

Heres a few pics of the bike thrown together with my old bits..

I will be changing Bars which I have already got now, stem for a shorter white one & also getting my forks sprayed white as these are like new & have great adjustability & I like the oil, coil & air setup..

I will keep this post updated as I change things on the bike

Did you buy dead reats green v8s?!

Didn't realise he had any! Was round at his place last week

Thinking about it though they were neon green and this isnt!

Was about last week haha!

I'll try & find them

I like it! I did a quick scan but came up empty handed, so could someone remind me what the function or idea is behind the flexplate?

New Funn bars & Kore Stem

also fitted my XT Shifter M750 (thanks to Jamabikes for fixing one of them)

Love how this bike rides already..

Only jobs I need to do are shorten brake hoses & get some different pedals..

I've always commented on what a lovely looking frame this is, and have been tempted to pick it up myself a couple of times. Got to love that Ti plate. Great build though. What does it ride like? Nice do-it-all full suss
