The bike will come with wellgo sealed pedals or shimano clips run smooth and a chain of course.

Were you not looking for wheels as trade before?

no mate, that was when i was searching for a wheelset, just wanted cash or a bike swap?!?!

My brother might be interested, it's just what he's been looking for. I'll have to get back to you though

That there is a nice frame - I've got the same one a size up. Christ I think I paid that for the frame alone when they were newish.

@ charles reza - yeah remember i won't be home till next tuesday so can get back to you then. i got some extra's for it, all deore geared stuff for it etc...

@ richard cheese, yeah dude these were pushing £500 new (frame only) and Kona has made a mistake not doing these style frames with great tube spec.....

That bike is pretty cool. . .

this is a great base for what would build up an awesome mtb single speed if you wanted, ox platinum air hardened steel combined with 1.5inch tires feels smooth on the road and not too slow either, have set it up with moustache bars and it looks really weird,,,, but really cool - photos next week

thanks

can i ask a stupid question!?

why did you have a chain tensioner on a sliding dropout frame?

p.s awsome frame, and not a bad price at all, could build into a very bling SS

cheeeeers. hope someone nabs ıt of a me

I really wanted one of those frames when I was doing a bit of mtb in Oz.. never did get one. Now there's no bloody mountains :)

mountaıns of beeeer here though

Disc brake perhaps ? I'm not sure...

mmm, I'm sorely tempted by this, I'm looking for a mtb, but I just don't have the cash at the moment... :(

Dayno, I'm definitely interested. Have sent you a personal mail. Cheers.

That would be why! i was thinking the same as tilover!

neılc - no PM dude

Dayno, must have been blocked by my novice status on the forum. I'm happy to go for this at the price. If you PM your details to me we can see if we can sort out somehwere to meet up next week.

sorry man, it's not quite what my brother was looking for

nope, paragon sliding dropouts slide with the disc mounts, other wise there would be no point in fitting them, (i think kona use paragon mounts) either way why hasn't this sold yet!?

im still baffeled why its got a chain tensioner then!

@ tılover yes rıght on. show,s how much attentıon ı payed to the buıld when ı fırst got ıt. I ınıtıally had v brakes on and thus the tensıoner. the dısc set up went on and ı dıdnt get round to changıng the set up once my track bıke project was underway - thınk thıs would make the fınal buıld sweeter. and yeah hopefully someone wıll pıck her up, she desreves some love!!!

tryıng to put a shot of the drops up but sumfınks wrong...

neıl c - sorry due. ı am ın ıstanbul and so much good shıt to see my tıme on the puter has been all but quıckıes!!! I have pm,d you so maybe we can sort somethıng. however tıll ı get confırmatıon she,ll stıll up. fırst dıbs so to speak ıs neıl c though

whats up with ur 'i's dayno? there all screwed
