2005 Kona Cinder Cone frame 19" centre - top seat tube
2014 (?) Mosso aluminium fork ~420mm axle crown IS disc and v-brake mounts
FSA Orbit MX headset - machined to take fork bearings still smooth.
BTwin 110mm stem
Ritchey Handlebars
My commuter bike for the last 2 - 2 1/2 years. I fitted the Mosso fork to replace the original suspension fork, but had to machine about 0.5mm from the inside of the lower headset cup to fit the fork (ID increased by about 1.0mm total). The fork was designed with a zero-stack headset in mind so a conventional one (well the FSA at least) just touched a little bit. After a bit of head scratching I concluded this was the only way it'd fit. I've had no issues in the time I've had it. It has about 30mm of spacers under the stem and a total steerer length in the region of 240mm. I've mostly commuted on it, the odd tow-path trip and a couple of CX sportives (one of the fastest MTB's home too
). As you can see from the photos, the frame has lots of chips, some of which I've touched up - the previous owner didn't believe in chainstay protectors :facepalm: however all the time I've commuted it has been covered in tape and the fork too, so has weathered well.
Takes:
27.2mm seat post
31.8mm top-pull front mech
31.8mm seat collar
68mm BB shell width
I'm asking £45 collected from Woking.
