Looks promising. I'm about to start a similar job with an old beat up Koga. Did you paint this yourself?

Decided to go and have a butcher in the shed for my old mountain bike that I used to worship when I was 16, my trusty butted steel Kona Hahanna with Marzocchi Bomber fork that I remember spending 1 years saving up £180 for.

Methinks it's time for disc on the front with a new Deore XT 9 speeds rear and a 38t crankset, as I love the frame and fork, what other upgrade would be worth doing on the Kona?

Man I forget how reasonably light it is, had a blast down Wimbledon Common, need to check if the forum do MTB ride.

If you are considering changing it ... get yourself a rigid fork ... if you don't do offroad that often on it ... Made my marin much lighter. Then Single Speed it ... I love My single speed marin ... I can chuck it around, crash it etc and it just keep on going ... love it.

The fork is fine, I just simply pump up the fork enough to make it rigid if I don't do much off roading.

P.s. I don't think it's necessary to quote a whole post to reply to a recent post.

yeah whack some project 2's and a SS kit on it, would be awesome
