I know, I know....I'll never hear the end of this.
But...I now have the Explosif which is going to fulfill the exact same role, only it'll be a lot lighter and, well, it's an Explosif. And I want only the best kit for it and it's starting to get expensive. And there's also the other project that I haven't revealed yet, and that's starting to get expensive too...
So, for sale, 'karma Kona', as per my signature, it's had many guises and I've loved owning it, but at the end of the day it's time to move him on. The frame was indeed free, but I did make a small contribution, and now I want to try and sell this as a complete bike, to fund other stuff as above, so I'll give that a go first, and maybe consider splitting him at a later date if that doesn't work.
Spec as he is now: the 16" frame resprayed at Argos many moons ago, tatty but straight and dent/crack free, beefier jumps P2's now fitted, a Tange sealed bearing headset which is about 200 miles old. (I will make the effort to clean it properly tomorrow)
XT short cage rear mech, XT 8 speed shifter (window indicator doesn't work but it's a pretty new shifter), XT cassette, brand new Shimano chain, LX chainset with 44T Middleburn ring. XT 68 x 110 BB, LX M600 brakes and levers, new pads. Rear wheel is XT hub on X517 silver rim, annoyingly has just developed a tiny bit of play in the bearings, front wheel is black SUP Mavic rim on a yellow Sunn/Hugi/DT (?) hub, smooth sealed bearings.
Waxoyled internally, all cabling pretty much brand new. EA50 seatpost, DMR saddle. Choice of bars and stem, what's on there at mo is tatty but definitely straight Club Roost with Bonty stem, other option on the table in pics, is OS white low risers with grey Answer stem (The blue stem in pic has gone now)
Vredstein S-licks on there at mo, but can offer a choice of other tyres but don't have any matching pairs :facepalm: Have grips for it, just haven't fitted them at the mo as not sure what bars people may want if any one does want it...
As is, in the pics, plus with a pair of off road tyres - £130 If you wanted the better/newer bar and stem combo, add a tenner. (Obviously, it owes me much more, but there you go) No offers please....
This only weighs 24lbs without grips/chainring bolts!
For now, will say collection, or meet somewhere half way within a reasonable distance of South Somerset. As of middle of next week, I may be able to post at cost.
Don't want to split as I say for the time being, but if there is interest, then, well....maybe....

and although i've loved reading about him i can't afford him although he is a tad to small for me tbh but with luck he'll find a decent home
