Mr Greenfield
I bought Plankosaurus' 2004 Kona stinky for a bargain price. She's to become bike number 4 in the fleet. Bikes 4,5 and 6 are all on the go.
She needs a full rebuild, has spent some time in the rain. So far I've fully stripped her down.
Stuck trying to get the main pivot bearings out, I'm assuming the bearing seats are semi blind so I've tried pulling with no luck, going to have to cut them out it would appear.
Plans are a little sketchy still. Paint has to go. Thinking raw
Unsure what to do about the forks, but my stash of 32mm zocci is pretty good, I'm thinking a fox FIT cartridge might be the go with some 20mm DJ3 lowers, rear coil shock is a vanilla r with propedal and seems to be quite good as far as platform goes, might try it once she's back together before hunting for an air shock
Wheels will be mavic 823 on pro2
Brakes will be Guides.
ATF/Acetone left to soak into the bearings in an attempt at removing them, sadly no joy.
