Work in progress. It was functioning so I took it apart to sort out the mismatched wheelset. Still need to cable up the brakes (first try with bb7s). Wheelset was free, about 5 years ago from @pit. Cranks off this very forum for a bargain.
For those of keen eye they will spot that there is in fact no non-driveside crank. It turns out that
A) truvativ giga pipe BB has a proprietary crank bolt size; and
B) self extracting crank bolts get stuck.
Quite the fun bike and one I plan to tinker with over the next little while. It was a lucky find and finally ended my quest for a Kona Unit having developed a serious desire for one of the earlier ones after reading seeing this “Bike der Woche” about 5 years ago: https://fotos.mtb-news.de/p/2426166
Future plans include matching tan wall tires. And actually getting that damn crank on.
