Retro mountain bikes

Both this and the f2000 are awesome. Proper iconic colourway with the Volvo sticker too. And I've always been a sucker for a lefty fork.

My ‘96 Kona Kilauea! New favourite ride

Any recommendations for 26 inch rims? My old ones are badly worn and it’s hard to find new ones.

Lovely. Kona's of that period looked so racey

I like Ryde rims, cheap and very durable. Usually a bit heavy though

Also looking for recommendations - mudguards!

What are people using for silver, non hammered, 26 inch guards to fit over 2.15 tyres?

Halo white line classic build up easy.

I re-radiused some VO Zeppelins 52*700s.

Aka kinlin Adhn. Can be found quite cheap on cyclebasket

Anyone interested in this Kona Hahanna frame? Think it’s 17 inch

Could be, how much? What’s the TT length on a 17” frame? Thanks:)

Shocking photo, apologies. Swapped from Kona Hahanna to this GT because it has horizontal drop outs and since first seeing the GT on Stridsland.

Still need to swap saddle to plain black and fit some mudguards for the wet.

thats amazing, I am converted I need to get/build one

What sort off speed do you get from that gearing looks very slow. Love the look.

Looks around 36-9 or something

32/11 I think. It’s fast from the lights and a joy for nipping around town.

saw a beaut of an overbury's mtb today, no pics sadly
pace - like forks, magura hydro brakes, xtr groupset

more traditional mtb geometry, not a pioneer with sloping top tube, top tube ( horizontal ) and seat stays met rather than the slight offset of a pioneer

spamming this like mad, sorry!
