Finally, at long last the steed if just about finished all bar (no pun intended) the arrival of the carbon bar ends tomorrow.
It's ment to be an all purpose compromise commuter/off road/training bike.
Started life like this, a second hand bargain I picked up for a few quid.....
It was chemi-dipped to strip the paint, dye penetrant crack detected, then powder coated, nice & thick.
After 1 set of Rockshock Dukes, 1 pair of Pace RC36 Stealths, I decide on rigid forks as I preferred more direct steering and the bike just handles so well on rigid forks. weighs in at a touch over 20lbs.

Very nice, I'll be doing something similar later in the year with a '97 kona for the O/H
Really like the build, we need a spec list though!
Where did you get the bar/stem/seatpost from, can't see any makes? Good prices etc? Thanks 0 -
possibly the best kona i've seen, not a fan of kona but you've done a really good job there mate!0

That looks pretty awesome
Powder coating it completely brought that frame back to life. Out of interest how do you apply stickers once it has been powder coated? Is it just a case of applying them then using a laquer over the top? 0
