Picked this up yesterday, it's the right size for me and the spec. is almost completely original (which was the big appeal). Hopefully this will just be a case of cleaning, replacing a couple of cables and the grips and it'll be good to go, the stem and bar are needing a re-paint so might give them a spruce up too while I'm at it. 1990 was such a good year for Mountain Bikes, just realised I've got 4 from that year now :facepalm:
Anyway that's Kona ticked off the list of bike brands I want to try/own, just Marin, Saracen, Alpinestars, Rocky Mountain, Proflex, Merlin, Diamond Back etc. etc. to go now
I really need to move some bikes on now! anyone fancy a Trimble??

Re: Re:
Thinking the Trimble is the bike I have least affinity with, even though it rides really nicely. The Dave Yates might be for the chop too as it's a little too long and low to be comfortable (some retro riser bars might fix that though :? ). There's a couple of others I need to think about shifting too, can't keep them all unfortunately.
I think the "Tremble" was their full suss bike RobRobMac":2y8878fv said:You'll have no bother moving your Tremble on

Been down south today, well, Edinburgh at least. Dropped daughter and Mrs at Napier Uni for an open day, then headed to the Pentland hills for a couple of hours riding. I'd downloaded the route Velo took us on last May so followed most of that on my Garmin. Weather wasn't as nice as last year, overcast with some drizzle, but the trails were fairly dry. I took the Zaskar I'd put together for the Mrs, it's a bit on the small side for me, but rode really well
We then headed into Edinburgh just as the sun came out, paid a visit to the National Museum Of Scotland (which had a few cool/old bicycles), then had some nice food at a small Spanish restaurant before heading back to Aberdeen for Beer and a movie. Not a bad day

Best of the weather was in the east where I was near Gifford in Yester Woods. Not on my bike but walking, though I reckon the Yester estate has a lot of potential with narrow paths, possibly bike trails created by the locals, snaking off away from the main paths. Muddy as f**k though so better wait for a dry week. However I visited the Goblin Hall, a large vaulted medieval room underground beneath a ruined castle deep in the woods, very Tolkein
Pentland's though are usually pretty good fun so I am glad you enjoyed revisiting the trails I showed you
