Moved to eBay: 18" 2009 Kona Caldera rolling chassis w/ P2 forks and Mavic+Novatec 27.5" wheels

Moved to eBay.

For sale are a frame, fork, headset, stem and spacers, seat clamp, seat post, wheels and skewers. You'd need bars, brakes, and a drivetrain to complete it.

Part list below:

1. 2009 Kona Caldera frame, 18″
   
2. 2006-ish Kona Project 2 forks. 405mm axle to crown. Allegedly triple-butted.
   
3. Novatec D042SB-SS-11S (rear) and D041SB (front) hubs. Six bolt disk.
   
4. Mavic XM319 rims. 27.5″, 32 hole.
   
5. Schwalbe G-One Speed Addix tyres. 27.5″×2″. These are set up with tubes.
   
6. FSA Omega stem. 60mm.
   
7. Ritchey Comp Cartridge Logic headset .
   
8. FSA Gossamer stem, with a fair old amount of set back.
   
9. Shimano skewer on the front, Joy skewer at the back.
   
   

I've had it built up with drop bars (Ritchey Venturemax) and flat bars (Planet X Jones rip-offs). Works pretty well with both. I wrote a bit about it here.

Good points: it builds up to be light and quick, but it isn't so nice you wouldn't be okay locking it up outside the pub. Mudguard mounts, rear rack mounts. Standard everything: 6-bolt wheels, IS disk mounts, 73mm BB shell, 100/135mm hub spacing, 27.2 seat post, 31.8 bars.

Bad points: the real bearings feel a bit notchy off the bike, but I can't say I noticed it while it was built up. They're 6001s, so fairly easy to buy and replace. There's also a bunch of marks on the frame and fork, and some bubbling of the paint around the cable guides and bottle + rack eyelets. Oh, and one bottle bolt is missing.

For collection in Birmingham (B30). I can probably deliver to Euston for the cost of the train fare, or post via courier. (It'd need to go into two boxes, so could be a bit pricey.)
