Finished the Kona, again neglected to take WIP pictures, sorry. The fork and groupset had previously been on my Klein. I paid the princely sum of £15 for the awesome frame on here. It was slightly damaged at one of the rear v-brake mounts, just a bit chewed up - not sure what had happened. I had to redrill the tiny holes for the brake springs and build the mount back up with JB weld. Otherwise it is straight, no dents just some scratches. Works perfectly now making this a huge bargain - I have always loved Konas.
I am definitely planning to upgrade the saddle and grips eventually. This bike will be going to live in Wales (when I am allowed across the border) where it will be ridden on actual mountains. Disc brakes are dead!
