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
Yes, I installed it about 6 months ago with some fresh grease, it still functions perfectly :)
Off the top of my head, I'm not sure sadly!

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
Hi all,

I'd like £120 posted anywhere in the UK please.
