    Not sure spec-wise what I am going to do with it.

    I was thinking eXotic (carbon) forks/stem/seatpost (VERY cheap on the bay)

    Im just going to get some non-disc LX wheels from Merlin for this (again - cheap)

    Yeah it all sounds very nice, but am I missing something - weren't you building up a Kona?

    Still am - just finding the right 'period' parts for it - it's nearly there!!! :wink:

    Buying this frame means that I have to wait to have the Kona re-sprayed! (might not even bother now)

    Just got bikes all over the place now, spare room looks like the back of a bike shop!!! :lol:
