1990 Kona Lava Dome Tourer/Commuter

Time to sell my trusty Kona commuter. This bike did me proud for a tour across France and Italy to Venice and was my commuter for years. Frame is totally solid, can carry weight with ease and is surprisingly fun when it's unloaded. They don't make 'em like this any more!

18" Frame, the old Konas are measured ctt, I'm 5' 10" and it could go either side of that quite easily with different stem bar combos. The top tube looks long at 21" but they're an early example of sloping geo so the effective is much shorter and sets them apart from other MTBs of the era. The non-original paint (no splatter! boo!!) is chipped in the usual places but overall is sound and usable condition. It will clear 2.0 slicks and 1.75 knobblies, it's the chainstays that have the tighter clearance.

Comes with:
Wheelset - Deore + XC717 front, Deore LX + Sputnik rear. Lower end Shimano 8-speed cassette. Can take a 10-speed tho. Loads of life left on the braking surfaces.
Marathon Supreme 1.6s with tons of miles left in them. I've got a brand new one you can have too. £60 tyres wtf!!
No name headset that could do with a clean and regrease.
Weird sized 26.6 seatpost, binder bolt and a kinda ripped and tatty but usable Fizik Nisene saddle.
Tubus Cargo Evo rack, plenty scuffed and surface rusty. Indestructible German quality.
Elite Bottle Cage.

Mudguards are going to a pal, sorry!

Worth a trip to the seaside for that price ;)

For the whole lot??? That's a silly deal. Really don't need this though

Seriously, I'd like it to go to someone to build up and ride. It's languishing in a corner...

Edit: Is it too late to blame Brexit?

Rack alone is £70 new.

Reserved for collection Saturday

Lesson learned: Low prices are attractive
