[setspeed]

If you're wanting to do an original rebuild of a 1990 Kona Lava Dome then there's a really nice condition Suntour X1 groupset hanging off this hundred quid Carrera on eBay:

I like the Carrera as it is, great paint job. I may be biased

Yeah, it's an alright bike. But I think those groupsets are pretty rare, especially in mint condition like this. It just seems to be crying out to go on a Lava Dome. I may be biased, as the 90 Lava Dome was a bike I always wanted as a kid!

Seems to have a few Chroma bits on it as well, pretty cool.

Chroma was standard on these, looks like it's lost its rear derailleur clip on bit tho.

Rare groupset tho

Ah, memories. That was my first ever mountain bike. Shamefully I seem to remember spraying it black at some point
