Here's my 93 Kona Cinder Cone in all its incomplete splendour.

I think all I'm missing is a seat post (26.6mm if anyone has one lying around?) and I'm going to get the jagwire brake and shift cable set. I'll slowly upgrade components as I find them and hopefully chuck the old shit on a small 94 cinder one frame I have that can be the missus'. It has no forks so would like to put some suspension forks on it, make it a bit of an all weather beater.

This is a 1996 Barracuda, with the Judy's and the grip shift it'll be perfect to get the missus on to gain some confidence, she's not great on bikes. Needs tyres and tubes but everything else goes alright. Mix of XT and LX.

And this is the Topanga that is up for grabs if anyone wants to give it a good home.

Is it an electric bike chassis?

Wash your mouth out, don't let's be having disputes this short into our relationship. It's just not healthy

Then I don't understand it. Is there a video?

I have a photo, apparently 220mm rear travel, 300mm front travel, gearbox, looks fucken hard.
Ticks all the boxes needed. Absolute dream bike for me and many others

I mean seriously, who wouldn't toss a quick one over that

 

[FigBo0T]

Holy fark. Now I see it. It was the gearbox that was confusing me. That looks bombproof. Where are the gun mounts?

 

[hifiandmtb]

Perfect commuter.

 

[Mr Crudley]

Except its a chinese reproduction. I wouldn't be building it up and hitting trails.

Pah, Chinese goodies power the world - but point taken

Looks weird with slicks. Does it come with a step ladder to mount it?

I thought this might interest someone here.

I've got a Raleigh Technium Chill frame (58cm top tube) with Rockshox Indy forks, 9 spd XT brake levers and shifters. I found it dumped a few years ago and haven't had any luck finding the owner locally, so its free to a good home! Comes with everything pictured except XT pedals.

I'm entertaining the idea of downgrading to an older alloy roadie, so if anyone has something interesting in 56-57cm top tube, let me know. I found my dream road rig, a Klein Quantum, a while ago, but it was cracked and I can't TIG weld.

Awesome frame and thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty set on finding a stiff alloy bike. My steel Bombtrack Audax is great for long rides, but not so great for crits and training.

Cheers mate. Nice collection. He has a few complete DH bikes too.

Has anyone ridden a Giant NRS? A 2005 nrs 2 has popped up cheap, considering it to just get out there.

 

[hifiandmtb]

When they were current, yes.

Likely horrible now. But give it a go!

 

[safreek]

How about the shivvers for your 125. Perfect

I reckon you need the nrs, they look cool (for a giant)

Yeah this ones fairly cool. Got Skareb forks too. I've asked about it, if he still has it and will hold it till the morning I'll grab it.
