Still looking to move one of these on. Based in SW London and afraid I don't have a box so probably collection/meet halfway only.
Kona Major Jake - 58cm ST CTT - frame/forks/Cane Creek headset - SOLD
Handy for both winter commuting and summer gravel-grinding (or winter gravel if that’s your thing). Nice CX Scandium frame (fancy aluminium), flattened top tube for more comfortable carrying. Columbus Tusk CX fork. I had this setup with guards and wide tubs over winter, now setup for gravel tyres. Marks here and there, but the brushed Scandi finish holds up pretty well.
Full measurements:
55 st ctc (listed by Kona and feels nearer a 58)
58 st ctt
57 tt ctc
Now looking at a split, but if you wanted some parts I'm sure we could work something out.
Roberts - 62cm ST CTC - Frame & forks NOW £325
Next, my Roberts. Seat tube is tall, but top tube is only 57 tt ctc so if you can cope with the standover there is some flexibility. I think this is Columbus EL-OS, judging by the lovely fillet brazing and fastback stays, but I’m not sure. Columbus Minimal fork. Given that, a pretty light frame for the age/size. I had planned to have this resprayed (and mudguard eyelets added) at some point, as you can see there are a few chips through to the metal in places, but with reapplying some nail varnish to protect it you could keep it as it is for the foreseeable. Decals are also flagging and remains of an owner name, but the pearlescent makes you forget the imperfections!
Frame/forks/headset now back up for sale.
