New project, frame and forks.

[chrisv40]

I'm considering selling my Cannondale, as much as I love it I confess to being a steel man at heart and it just isn't getting ridden.

If I do get rid I need something to fill the gap in the shed and to stop me getting bored now the nights are getting darker so will be looking for a frame and forks, rigid or sus and 19 - 20" in size.

I've never owned a Kona so that would probably me my preferred choice and I haven't a large budget so nothing too exotic please

I have a 'free' kona frame for postage, its your size, purple and from around 1993.

It will need a strip and a powder coat.

Its either a lavadome or cindercone

Have you got a picture for him and the serial first 4 bits or so (to tie the year down) Purple sounds like 1992 LavaDome ?

Here it is:

Mark, thanks very much for the very generous offer but I really want to start with something in as good condition as possible to start with, I just haven't got the time to get it stripped and taken to be painted then fit decals and laquer etc etc.

Really appreciated though and and sure someone will be able to make a very nice bike out of that frame.

Howabout a Scapin, made in Italy?
Very close to NOS, but not quite.
Exotic AND cheap. What more could you want?
Frame only £75. I don't have forks , but do have just about everything else to make a singletrack slut of her...

Going to have to pass on the Scapin I'm afraid and the B4 is way out of my budget.

Thanks anyway guys

Well it's obviously a lot more difficult for me to sell my B4 that I had imagined. What is your budget (I'd might be interested in splitting my bike)?

What happened to the Tequesta frame with the seized seat post?

I thought that was your next preject.
