Nice info there, should sort you out.

just like bmx, only slower and they don't jump as high.
i don't get it.

the work of jonas normann. he sells these for about 30 pounds. dunno if he's on here, but you can pm me for his e-mail adress.
and sorry for quoting the photo!

If only he'd get some proper buckles for them.

2nd dibs on the black analog jacket.

Hey all,

I fucked up and placed a bid that I didn't quite think through on eBay.
Turns out that grossly underestimated the cost of shipping to the DK. (and probably also misjudged my required frame size for mtbs, but that's another story)

So... the item in question is a Kona Hahanna frame w/ suspension forks, stem, bars grips and brakes. I won it at the ridiculous sum of 28 squid, and UK shipping will be a measly 12 squid.
I was going to convert it to singlespeed, which I think it would be perfect for; legendary Kona geometry and all.
All in all 40 pounds for a great retro mtb frameset + parts.

Kona Hahanna Retro MTB Frame and parts

Kona Butted Cromoloy frame.
16” Bottom bracket to centre of top tube.

Team 280 Series RST suspension forks 1 1/8" threaded steerer.

Tektro V-Brakes and Levers
Shimano Acera X front Mech.
Steel quill stem and steel riser handlebars
Gripshift SRAM MRX 200-70 for the rear changer.
Shimano Revoshift for the front changer

Frame is used and can be used as spares or rebuilt. All that is needed for a complete bike is a bottom bracket, chainset, pedals a rear mech and pair of wheels with tyres and a cassette.
Looks like one of the bottle bosses on the seat tube has been dunted, deforming the shape of the tube slightly.

Here a pic of my old Gazelle baan >>>

On Jan's site

Which is mine now. Lovely bike.

bollocks, that bar/stem looks great.

Now its my all time favourate saddle. Like sitting on a walnut for the first 5 minutes of a ride, but after that its perfect. I spend much more time seated when riding fixed too, so something most be right. I read somewhere that its based on the flite, so maybe I should look into getting one of them at some point (that saddle^^ is no longer produced :( )

hey, i've got that one too. +1
although, the arione would be my second pick. the sheer length of it makes it easy to experiment with where you want to be fore-aft wise while riding.

the triobike is shit, don't get it. it's a combined bike, child carrier and hybrid. This means that none of them will work very well.
Christiania bikes on the other hand, one of the best cargo bikes I've ever ridden. I hear that the bilenkys may be better, but for fragile cargo (young'uns), i'd prefer two wheels up front.
Or consider the Long John, those things are fucking indestructible.

What can i say, I'd like a black chainring, 44t/45t, deep design like gebhardts, 144bcd.
Doesn't have to be pristine, but not worn down either.

and they're heavy. I mean, compared to good alloy.

If only it was that easy. It's the non drive side crank, the drive side came off piss easy - I put all 16stone of my weight over it too

you do remember that the left side is counter threaded, right?

+1 on the michelin levers. been using mine for ages. plus, they give you three right off the bat. that's 50% more lever!

plus, they're plastic. metal levers fuck up teh rims.

But that Alan is lugged aluminium, yeh? So different rules apply.

What on earth is on the top tube? Ribbed?

innertube, i reckon.

because it's too big, damnit!

If they fit your bb, and give you a decent chainline, I'm sure they'll do that which cranks do.

I did almost the exact same thing, only instead of landing on the beer I landed on my shoulder and both dislocated and broke it.
Also got a black eye, which puzzled me, since i didn't notice landing on my face.
I was going to illustrate it, but it seems a bit redundant now.

At least I learned how to set a dislocated shoulder, albeit I learned the hard way. I reckon it served to H me TFU.

Cool, I always wondered how to calculate that.
Never had it in school.

HTFU is harden the fuck up. I thought it was hurry the fuck up. most of the questions i've seen answered with htfu could be solved by simply riding faster.

those are Diamant decals. I found this guy online (you?) who had reproduced them. I might put 'em on my bike (a Diamant).

Nope, not me. Those are original decals.

^^ripper crust: so nice to see some IFA tubing on here. when i was a little rotzlöffel, i was dreaming of a road bike like this to go fast like Olaf Ludwig ;)
do you have more pics of your build (taking its your actual ride that is)?

I do, I do, http://velospace.org/node/16662.
It's going up for sale though, as I just bought a romani, and can't afford to keep both.
Package should be coming through the door any minute!

not sure how amazing it is, but definitely silly.

Probably M10 and 15mm ATF. Whatever you do, don't do anything crazy like taking the wheel down there to check. That would be nuts. Ha. Literally.

Wow, you should be in the world championship for jokes or something.
