Kona Jake the Snake cyclocross frame - 58cm

Selling this Kona Jake the Snake frame as I have replaced it with a disc brake alternative for CX / gravel riding.

The frame has plenty of signs of use, some of the stickers have been scraped off on one side before I owned it, but there are no dents, the distressed look is only superficial.
The fork is not original, it is a generic 4ZA aluminium 1" steerer fork with clearance for 42mm tyres, maybe 45mm at a push. The frame has clearance for 42mm tyres, I haven't tried anything wider.
The headset is an FSA one and runs very smooth. The seat post can also be included, its nothing particularly special, just a brandx inline, but from what I remember it is a bit of a tricky size at 27.0mm

I would like to get £130 for the frame, fork, headset and seat post.

I had this built up with a 10speed SRAM Rival groupset but with TRP CX 8.4 mini V brakes. I have options for a 2x or 1x build and would be happy to sell this too. I would be looking for £150 for a variation of the groupset, the options I have to choose from are as follows;

Double chain ring 50/34 - shown in some of the photos
Sram Single chain ring 42t
Sram rival 10speed rear derailleur with PG 1050 11-32 cassette
Sram X7 10speed rear derailleur with PG 1050 11-36 cassette
Band on front derailleur (needed for this frame)
Bolt on front derailleur
TRP CX 8.4 mini v brakes - black

The aluminium Selle Italia elite pictured on the bike could go for £30 too.

I've got photos of the bike built up and can take specific photos if theres anything you'd like to see of the frame or group.

I am based in Newport / Cardiff, but I work in London and Bristol relatively regularly so could bring it with me if timings work, not really looking to post, but could be persuaded.

Hello fellow Newportonian

Hello! Who knew Newport was so well represented on here

Do you have the TRP CX 8.4 mini v brakes ? What is the asking price on them?

Good bike. Did the f+f go?

wrong thread

Interested in this if happens to still be around!

if not, there was a tatty white c.2010 Major Jake advertised on here more recently than this one; I don’t think it went anywhere. Good luck!

Still available, I’ll dm you to discuss
