Maybe it's the Rishi effect that has made them a bargain. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/10/im-a-longtime-devotee-rishi-sunak-apologises-for-wearing-adidas-samba-trainers

Good to know they saved money by downgrading the materials they use, rather than skimping on labour standards in authoritarian countries.

Sorry, only just seen your reply. The big stickers are not outline - they have white centres. Drop me a message if you'd like some or all of them. Thanks Rich

Lovely details on that frame. Looking much better with the flat bar.

Nipples? You can buy 1.8mm nipples elsewhere pretty cheap though.

You will need to use 1.8mm (15g) nipples, but these are very cheap and will build into light wheels. https://bitexhubs.co.uk/product/dt-swiss-factory-spokes-box-of-500/ Rich

Looks like Kona's proprietary shortlived IS(NT) standard you've got there.

I bought it years ago off ebay. I got the sense it was someone in a shed making them. I can't remember the name but here is the packaging. It's been brilliant.

Steven sold me some excellent winter boots at a great price. Posted tracked too - a lesson to the skinflints out there. I am so pleased with them i'm almost looking forward to winter. Thanks Rich

I would absolutely love the frame if you'd split it. Thanks Rich

Just what i'm after. Sent you a message. Rich

Thank you. It's a fun ride. Just enough clearance at the chainstays for a 650b 2" tyre. I'm very fond of these forks. I don't have any suspension these days and my main ride is this cross bike... So having a 2.4" tyre at the front feels plush to me. You thought about 26" at the rear and 650b...

Bump from history...

Because i missed it, i created this. An old Spooky Pit Boss. With 650b wheels.

That is a very good resource. I have used it lots of times and spoke lengths have always been spot on.

Someone who designs their paintjobs must have been heavily influenced by my teenage bedroom (circa 1987). I loved that grey and red striped carpet and the red metal bed frame (then).

Love it. A big yes to your nope. I agree with you about the bar. It has the purposeful look of a bike that needs a flat bar and bar ends for out and out xc effort. Hutchinson pythons are a favourite of mine. Ridiculously fast tyres. Still needs a rigid fork and 1x drivechain for me, but it's not...

Purchased decades ago from Bromley bike. I think they're post-1998, but not 100% sure. The ruler in the photos is 35cm long for scale. Anyway. £25 posted for the lot. Thanks Rich

I think @Darrell is new on here. I bought a bar from him. All good - nice comms, item arrived superbly packed and was sent tracked. Masterful selling! Thank you.

Jake is a nice person to deal with. Good comms and took the time to leave feedback. All good with me.
