Hi Bought this in May '07 and only used it three times. I thought modern forks were mucking up the handling of my Hei Hei which turned out not to be the case so I reverted back to the Kona. A few minor cable rubs, apart from that as good as new. It's been sat in the garage, oiled inside and...

I've always been one for thinking ahead so I've started to consider the bike I'm going to put together for my retirement 'round the world cycle'. I've looked high and low and I keep coming back to using my '93 Kilauea frame. I'd love to achieve a late-in-life biking adventure with the frame...

I'm building up a Planet X Kaffenback and can't find a supplier of a Waxoyl type internal frame protector (in a can not professionally applied). Can anyone help?

As above, please see my gallery. It needs new pads which are still available, probably could do with a bleed as it's not been in use for a while and the rubber grommet at the base of the lever is past its best. I have checked it over and the pistons are not corroded and move easily. I'm...

I'm about to strip down my Kileauea so I can put some Frame Saver in it. Problem is the seat stay bridge is full of crud inside (there's a 5mm hole in it for mudguard or some such fitment). Has anyone got a good method of getting into tricky areas to clean?

Has anyone got MTB Pro No. 3 (I think) where they reviewed the Kona Kileauea. I'd love to see a scan if possible.

After the above for my road/commute bike. Anything considered as long as it's cheap/free. Thanks

I'm in a bit of a quandry but I know you lot can help. I'm trying to source a frame that will cover the following requirements: -29er wheels for a bit of cross/off road (not confined to skinny cross knobblys but able to take something a bit wider) but also able to swap to skinny road tyres...

As above thanks.

I get the feeling from this website that a lot of people like me treat their garage as their second home and refuge from the trials and tribulations of life. Here's my hideout, just waiting for the comfy Oxfam chair that arrives next week, then I can move in permanently...

Anyone got any of the above from early'90s.

I'm looking to get my '93 Kileuea re-painted and the sprayers have asked for exact details of the colours. Does anyone know where I can find out this info (I think they want some sort of colour number)?

Just wondering but are we voting for the most faithful restoration or the most aesthetic/retro-inclined bike? Only asking because I fell in love with the Breezer.

Just thought I would introduce Lily Kona Moran (I have a very understanding wife). Has anyone else named their new treasure after their first one? http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g52/k ... G_0703.jpg P.S. She grabs everything in sight, I wasn't actually feeding her beer (I make sure...

Not really retro apart from the frame but still used every day and my one true love (just don't tell the wife).

A question occured to me as I drifted off last night. Does anyone know how far I would have to ride a bike instead of driving a car to pay back the energy used in contructing the bike in the first place? It just struck me that after the iron ore has been mined, tubes fabricated and welded...

Work just couldn't get anymore boring today :( . Has anyone got any amusing stories or jokes (I'm particularly fond of the numpty customers at the LBS ones). Anyhoo, back to punching the keyboard and dreaming of shiny stuff for the Kilauea build. Russ

Anyone got any good tips on mirror polishing ally bits and bobs? Russ

I'm beginning to get the feeling I'm after the proverbial rocking horse dung but does anyone know where I can get '98 or'99 Hei hei decals. Preferably about 50 sets as this frame is going to the grave with me. Many thanks if you can help.
