Knocked this together for a four month trip around Europe and while it aint gonna get a feature on the radavist, it is ready to roll and will carry you and some luggage through space and time. It has served me well. Is pretty capable, did some riding on rough tracks like the bike crossing in the black forest and the rallarvegen. Was also pretty good on pavement and super dodgy Albanian b roads. Heading back to New Zealand so gotta offload it.
Specs are...
Kona Fire Mountain 1991 20"
Wheels: Built at Rosebike. Deore 610 hubs, Airline extreme 3, dt swiss spokes. Rear has Sram pc830 (11-32) on it.
Tires: Marathon Mondial (Folding evo line) 26x2
Cranks: Acera octalink 175mm
Derailleurs: Shimano old lx front, Deore LX M570 rear
Shifters: Shimano 8 speed. Stx i think,
Brakes: Shimano BM420
Levers: mismatched avid. One fr5, one speed dial 7.
Seatpost/saddle: Ergotec with nasty but comfortable specialized riva 155.
Rack: Blackburn outpost deluxe.
Bars/Stem: On one mary/system ex/Kalloy quill adapter. Will include the original kona joe murray one also.
Got the wheels new for the trip. Pretty damn sturdy. Need a minor true but not enough for me to actually sit down and do it. Has an array of spare spokes. Rims still have stacks of surface according to the indicator. Octalink bb was also new at the start of the trip.
Has a ding on the downtube. Got it during the first flight of the trip so safe to say it's benign. Includes a couple of panniers, a carradry backpack thing in okay condition and a cheap but very waterproof boardman one. Will upload pics when camera has some charge.
Only gonna be back in London for 2 days, the 19th and 20th of July. Staying in e1 so pickup is from there or I can deliver within a reasonable distance on those days. Any questions just ask. Riding through Norway atm and won't have so much WiFi but will reply when I can.
Dibs is cool and middle men are fine so long as pickup or delivery is on either of those days.
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.
