Hi all,
I fancied a bit of a project a while ago which I lost interest in when I started buying Colnago's! This has been sat collecting dust for the last year, figure I should sell it to someone who will use it, this bike just needs 'finishing'.
. 2009 Kona Caldera, size large
. FSA chainset
. Shimano Deore XT rear hub
. Promax front
. Mavic rims
. Unbranded tyres
. Deore rear mech
. Shimano hydraulic brakes
. Rockshox tora forks
. FSA headset
. Kona cockpit
. Brooks saddle
. Aluminium post
I've done 0 miles on this bike, but the frame, forks, wheels etc seem good condition. The original plan was to make a nice rigid, single-speed XT bike, but I lost interest.
The bike is 90% original, but has recently had a new shifter pod, inner and outer gear cables, new headset and chain.
I've put quality grease in the headset and BB when installing them.
Bad points:
. frame has been powder-coated in bright pink. This was done by me when we were doing the R&D on crinkle finish powder-coat, it's not very smooth or consistent, but it is very durable.
. Previous owner has somehow managed to wear down the drive-side BB cup, still functions but there's quite a bit of raw metal.
. Rear mech needs some attention, the stopper is upside down and possibly some of it missing. When you pedal backwards the chain loosens, the mech also hits the chainstay.
. Forks work perfectly, but there's no lock-out feature
. Missing 1 stem bolt
I'd like £120 posted anywhere in the UK please.
