I have a 'current' model Project 2 fork in black , measuring 390mm from crown to drop-out - not suspension corrected. Disc brake only. Would be great on a retro-mod Kona build. Old skool kona frame with discs. I am after, in exchange (?) either Disc only suspension corrected...

Was that the Fleet Street branch of Action Bikes in London, Circa 1997? I was thinking the very same thing. I worked there then and can't rememebr the guy's name. It was the very same set up - even the foam grips were the same. Did you buy this bike complete or build it yourslef?

Oh man! I haven't been on the site for weeks...if not months....and I miss this by days. I would have biten someones arm off for this! By far my favourite bike in the whole widest world ever. Well done whoever won it it - a truely awesome frame. Kona Hot? Pah! :lol:

Ffwwooorrr! Orange....Kona....handmade....retro..... 8)

Here arte some pics. The eagle eyes will spot there are no cables! I have replaced the inners and was going to fit the outers but if the bike is broken I'd rather include new cables with the brakes and shifters than cut them and fit them and then remove them! If the bike is sold whole you...

Will do. They will be up tonight. Thanks for looking.

Hi I have an 18" 97 Kilauea. Are you still interested? It is currently built up with XT brakes and gears, Middleburn RS8 and Pace RC30 forks. I would rather not split but if you want to talk numbers drop me a line. I don't have any pics at the moment but that's easily done. EDIT...

Re: Tange Ultimate ribbed decals Make that 3 sets! I need a set as well please! pm me for details and payment if this is not too much of an impossition! :oops:

That HOT is beautiful. Is it yours Ant?

£450 posted? Quick sale! Lots of lovely bits!

"front serspshen"...."Chain tytner". My deepest sympathies to his parents. If he knows them.

How much did these sell for BITD? On my first summer job back in '94 a guy I worked with had one. It was the first proper MTB I had seen in the flesh rather than in a magazine. I thought it was the best thing in the world. Way beyond my budget! What was the rrp?

You're right Ant. I was being a complete dullard last night. Neither of the '98 Hots I had had ovalised top tubes, only downtubes. Late + wine! :oops: Interesting about the 853 / Columbus mix is interesting as I've only seen 2 '98 Hots and both were the same. I my opinion this combo...

The '98 Frankenstein Hot I sold to Jez which now resides with another Retrobike resident; I seem to rememebr that having an ovalised down tube but not a top tube. But I might be wrong - it certainly didn't stand out when I got it like the black one did. My first concern was the black one was...
