1992 Kona Lava Dome, drop bars, mudguards, frame bag : £250

Early 90's Kona Lava Dome ('92 I think).

• Drop bar conversion with Nitto Randonneurs and a swan neck stem to bring the bars right up to where they should be on a drop bar MTB.
  
• Tektro cantis.
  
• Mostly an LX 7-speed groupset, currently running friction on 8-speed bar end shifters. Fresh chain and cassette 1000km old.
  
• Included is both a pair of knobblies (Schwalbe Smart Sam, currently fitted) and slicks (Schwalbe Big Apple).
  
• Full-length SKD mudguards.
  
• Custom Alpkit frame bag, designed for a camelbak reservoir.
  
• DMR V12 or Shimano SPDs.
  
• Tatty Flite.
  
  

There was a bit of rust on the fork so I stripped it back, sanded it down and it's been given a quick coat of Hammerite. Paint on the frame isn't perfect and there's a bit of wear from the framebag.

20" as measured by Kona (geometry available here). I'm 185cm and the drop bar setup is comfortably short and relaxed in the drops. It makes for a great commuter or off-road tourer.

Looking for £250 collected from N16. Dangle, bar, saddle and top tube bag not included.

Lovely and bargainous.. GLWS

@Jon. Dead to me. How could you?

Modernisation plans are afoot. Cielo gets gears and a framebag, two bikes into one.

Glad to hear it!

Bike is a beaut. Not to mention was ridden to first place in the inaugural Lesbian Stoners on Konas race

Love it - glws

first place in the inaugural Lesbian Stoners on Konas race

if that's not a selling point I don't know what is, though I'm unsure what the criteria for a "win" was.

Great touring bike too. May be interested.
Can you clarify what you mean here:
'Dangle, bar, saddle and top tube bag not included'
Are they all types of bags.
Especially not sure what a dangle is.

That was a convoluted reference to terminology made famous by the instagram user @bicyclepubes, and the old photo used to show the bicycle. Specifically a dangle refers to a enamel or titanium travel mug hanging from a bicycle.
