Unfortunately in in Glasgow so I can't collect but if you would post, I'd pay the asking price for the Kona and not even ask you to ship the wheels to me.

@platypus - the wheels both require new rims they've been braked into tin thin death strips and are several miles away from true.
@M_V - having seen your build threads you're exactly the man for the job - this requires a resurrection. However it weighs about 4 million tons and could cost a bomb to ship up to you - I'll have a look at courier costs.
@user53624 - snappy name :) the bike as a whole is a pretty close to dead, it's definitely a restoration project. If you're still keen chuck me a pm and we can arrange a viewing.

@socialamnesia is the Isla Bikes still available? If so, I have a person interested.
Clearing out the shed, all items are located in Wandsworth and will need to be collected.
Kona Humu Humu rolling carcass... £75
This was purchased from Henry (@eyebrows) too many years ago and has been transformed into its current mutant state by my girlfriend and her unconventional approach to bike care. The wheels are shot, the paint has a fantastic pattern from a lock knocking against it and the chain was last lubricated with vegetable oil (dont ask...) on the plus side it has a new project2 disc fork and bb7. It has awesome potential but I've no time to really get into it.
Islabike Cnoc £125
Awesome little bike that was recently replaced - could do with a little tune up but these things are close to indestructible. Spokey dokeys were added by my daughter to enhance resale value.
Condor Potenza EOM 60cm - damaged £75
Bought from the forum as a complete bike here and will be sold with carbon forks and carbon seatpost. Superlight and excellent fun I bought a slightly better fitting version not long after picking this up and now ride that. I noticed a hairline crack in the NDS seatstay while looking this over, I'll put a pic up tonight but the price reflects the fact this may need to be repaired.
Surly Steamroller disc 59cm - £150 frame, carbon fork + Chris King
I love this frame, I have had it built up with both a 26" disc trucker fork (which was pretty twitchy) and the Van Nicholas SLX carbon fork as pictured (way more relaxed) you can chose either when purchasing. The carbon gives slightly more clearance at the front and during winter I was able to run a pair of 45mm Marathon Supremes for bouncy tyre fun. I also have the unused original Steamroller fork.
