Two bottom brackets, eh? Looks like a lot of effort has gone into designing and welding that thing up. On the other hand . . .

I tried this with a Kona Cinder Cone last year and had great fun getting it to work. The key for this build, given the long top tube, was finding the right stem and shallow-drop handlebars. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/a-2000-kona-cindercone-parts-bin-gravel-bike.456847/

Late-afternoon spin on my mate's Kona Jake (which I'm fettling for him -- gotta test it, right?). Chilly but bright, nice bit of dirt-road cruising. Sun was well on the way down by the end of it -- at about 3:30pm. Beautiful day though. 27km, about 250m climbing.

Did this sell?

Didn't know he'd changed but it seems to be working well for him!

After another week lost to rain and cold, out today on a mate's Kona Jake, which I have been fettling for him. Bright, clear and cold, went off on a few dirt roads outside town for an hour and really enjoyed the bike. If it could shed a couple of pounds it would be even better!

I think that means I can go ahead with at least 172.5mm without too much hassle. In fact, it might be a little easier on the knees . . .

Interesting, I have a *really* hard time finding vintage cranks in anything other than 175, granted I'm mostly shopping in the 90's Haha maybe it's some kind of confirmation bias on my part

I've been looking for a new (old) set of cranks for a project I'm working on. I've always had 175mm cranks on my bikes -- I'm not sure why, other than that I'm 6'2" so the larger sizes of bike are fitted with those. But now I'm finding 175mm versions in short supply -- time and again I click...

This site Feels and looks like a social credit scoring extravaganza, What do you think ??? Nah.

How much with Kilauea attached? 😀

What an absolute cracker -- and perfect size too!

Well, quite. Because there is absolutely no direct connection between the semi-nude lass and "the all-steel bicycle". (And nil points to anyone suggesting she may be the local bike)

Excellent background -- thanks!
