That looks really good PP. Although I would agree with you about the stem length it'll probably be better with the shorter stem.
IIRC my Kona had a 26.4mm seatpost. Would be best trying before buying I reckon.
I've actually made contact with a previous owner of this actual F&F through Retrobike!! He sold it with a post and had confirmed it's a 26.4mm. I've just ordered one off CRC, a 400mm inline, exactly what I wanted. 🙂 I love the internet!
Gonna do it up with white bits again??
(I did have a white SI Turbo saddle until recently..)
Err no. There was a brand new, boxed, white Turbo for sale on Saturday. I was VERY tempeted, let me tell you!
NOTE:
It's been defiately dated as a 1992 frame and forks. You can't believe how much some people know about identifying model years! (1991s had a braze on seatclamp, 1992s didn't. That's the only difference apparently!)
I'm going to do it up as a SS with cheapish modern parts: I just need wheels and V-brakes (Cantis are death traps IMO. Never again!) I have everything else I need either in the garage or on the way. If the bit's I've been offered are decent it'll have cost me £175 for the complete bike. Certainly £200 max otherwise.
It will be ridden, not a perfect retro-bling garage queen! I'll ride it on sunny evenings only though, I don't want to ruin it.
