Parts to fit '94 Kona Lava Dome

[Morten Bodilsen]

Hello everyone!

I've got my hands on a '94 Kona Lava Dome Frame, and I would like to build my own retrobike from scratch. But I have to admit that my skills and knowledge could be better (yep, I don't know anything about it) At first I thought it would be easy, but when I started looking for components, I realized that I didn't know any sizes, measurements or what the original parts of the bike was :s And this is where I hope you guys could help me, as I would like to know if some of you possesses some of the bits, which where originally on the bike or fits the bike? Alternatively maybe you could just post some links which could guide me in the right direction Untill now I have only found a Kona Project Two fork, which i think was original, but even that I'm not sure of :s

Please help a lost soul

Welcome Morten, that didn't have anything special, if you take a look in the catalogue archive here, that should help or the retro Kona site?, Is the frame totally bare? i may have some parts that would work for you?

Thanks

It is totally bare, as you can see on the picture (Can't post links yet, so you'll have to wait for pictures), so I think it's quite a mouthful for a rookie like me
But I have spend the most of my day today looking through archives, searching old and new website and maybe even learned a bit, correct me if I'm wrong

I need a 1 1/8" fork, and I was thinking Project 2 so I found this:
(See Link in the next post)
will it fit, and is the price right?
alternatively I have found som newer P2's in black which costs about 40£.

68mm bottom bracket - would it be best to go for a new BB, or could an old one do the job? My local bike-dealer offered me a bb with isis thread at ½ price =15£, but then I figured I had to put more money into crankbox and pedalarms, or what? :s

Seat clamp = 29,8 (odd size)
Seat post = 26,6

Am I going in the right direction or should i just face the fact, that this is probably going to kill me

But either way, thanks for helping me getting started and if you possesses some parts and bits which will fit I'm very interested
