  • What's the best way to service a Kona frame and how long should it take ?

    kaesae- .
    It is reasonable to ask a seller where they get stock from – you challenge another on here and they answered and challenged you to do the same. You then change the goalsposts and decide to choose second hand cars as a defence for your refusal to answer – which also gets answered. You can refuse if you wish but people [ you may insult them as much as you wish but be aware it generally makes you look foolish as we will tend to laugh at your bizarrely worded nonsensical rants*] will infer a reason for your avoidance.

    Millions of frames but a proffesional international trader can't get a hold of 300 a year? I have connections from taiwan to lanzarote or have you failed to notice the bearings bolts and other items I sell. I DO NOT ANSWER TO FOOLS.

    Is that meant to convince us …you get them imported to the uk from your internationall network of suppliers? This is apparently cheap? Does one of them live in a volcano and have a white cat?
    Is anyone else picturing kaesae saying the capital bit in the voice of Mr T?Perhaps he has to have them all imported because he wont get on the plane FOOL 😉
    Clearly you are a liar – poor health etc , bad back etc yet nimble with the frame…it is hardly surprising people doubt your honesty when you have been shown to be dishonest.
    Like Mitch I also only expect vitrol as a reply like most I will just laugh at you.

    again fairly easily available knowledge.

    Kaesae. We don't want to know all your secrets but we would like to know roughly where you get 300 secondhand full sus frames a year from legitamatly.

    do you get them from ebay? No obvious record of you. Police auctions? Second hand ads in papers?

    I and others can think of no legitimate source for this number of secondhand frames at the prices you must be paying for them to make a profit after respray and new bearings.

    Until you can give us some indication of your sources – not detailed but in broad we will continue to believe that they are stolen.

    just a thought… although posting your medical notes online is a bit weird, am i the only one who see's that the first letter(MRI) basically says you have a disformed vertebrae that does not affect your spine at all and the second letter that you have back pain but are responding well to treatment. Its good to hear that the treatment is working, but not too sure what this letter proves/ achieves? (apart from giving all your personal details out on a forum full of IT specialists who using such things?)

    kaesae: A few people have asked you where you get your stock from, why don't you just answer and stop being so difficult, or perhaps you really do have something to hide, people have answered you when you have asked.

    Meehaja as I said the NHS is useless not many people live their lives lying flat on their backs that is however how a MRI scan is taken. They couldn't even spell my name right. for 18 months I couldn't feel my left foot and I spent 10 months on my living room floor flat on my back the NHS did nothing I had the MRI done after 1 year of yoga self taught and applied and also 1 year of physio exercises. I had also been seeing the osteopath for a while before the MRI was done. I have requested the MRI results twice so far and have received nothing. I can still only stand for 4 hours tops and am still in constant pain although yes the 3 hours of warm ups and exercises each day mean I'm far more mobile and have made more progress in 3 months than I did on your NHS in 5 years. NO Hope Service 5 years constant pain from a prolapsed disc at the top of my back culminating with 18 months of not being able to walk at all at first then clawing my life back day by day. Not surprising their saying everything is fine with so many people already suing them and an inability to manage resources effectively they are not going to admit incompetence any time soon are they ?

    See the odd thing here is I think you got a bit of a harsh ride the first time out (not helped by yourself), and I'd still have considered buying bearings from you. However, the fact you're so evasive about where you're sourcing your frames from (even though you post personal details) makes me wonder what is up.

    and there's a lot of rozzers on here it seems too

    I can still only stand for 4 hours tops and am still in constant pain

    SO you strip and service all these bikes whilst lying on your back then?

    Personal details that prove junkyard and the TV brains are sh!t talking muppets. The problem with answering the question is simple no matter the answer I would still be giving those asking it authority over me and that I will not do. If you are not buying a frame you don't need to know where they come from as for my bearings and bolts and other products there for bikers and people with the right attitude so you lot having any of them isn't something I would want to have happen.

    Kato if I can stand for 4 hours why would I service them lying down. Another genius from STW.

    You seem to move fairly quickly in your vid. Is that because you can only work for 5 minutes before the pain sets in and you have to lie down again?
    You say YOUR NHS, are you from this country at all?

    Can you not show at least one receipt for a frame, even with some of the relavent details blocked out? That would prove the doubters.

    Yes genius, you spend the 4 hours you can stand up during a day servicing bikes.

    Do you crawl to the shops, or to see you friends and family then? Do you get wheeled flat on your back on a hospital gurney to pick up all these second hand frames, or do the 'owners' them bring them directly to your house?

    Who says I'm not in the market for a frame? I've bought 3 in the last year and will buy another couple to build bikes for friends before summer. Apparently wanting to know where things come from is the wrong attitude yet even the UK frame builders on here often have no problems telling you where they get their stuff made (particularly the Ti frames) as they understand that more info isn't a bad thing.

    I certainly had no reason to doubt your bearings but your attitude towards customers is less than stellar. Don't worry about not wanting me as a customer, it's not a problem you're likely to have any time soon (and I've even bought from Fruit).

    Because like many others i would like to know why you are being so cagey with your answers. I don't think answering question's people ask means that you are bowing down to them, more like putting their minds at rest. If your attitude is to constantly avoid answering people's question's then you've got no hope of ever running a succsessful and legit bikeshop, after all people requesting information about the products you sell and you answering those queries is going to happen an awful lot.

    If we knew where your frames were from what authority would we have over you exactly? What will we do with it?
    You give us your name and DOB on a pulic forum and then you worry about this
    Thanks for the abuse …all rather predictable and not to your usual high standards …shame 3/10.

    Utter nonsense this thread is about servicing Kona's. You people are going nowhere as a country and culture but giving out advice like you have something worth saying. I should listen to you because you are good for nothing and at nothing. Thank you very much for the offer I’ll pass.

    mmm seems odd to put such personal details on lin. Also seems a bit strange that your name is spelt differently in both letters.

    kaesae this forum needs more people like you, it gives the rest of us something to laugh at.

    You're a bit obsessed/bitter with people watching tv. As I said in your post yesterday under your other username – fanny.

    Kaesae, what did you think posting your MRI results was going to achieve? You've got a bad back, so what, do you want sympathy? Jesus, try taking a look around you, there are members of this forum who are suffering real, life threatening conditions, and their posts are dignified, rational, and above all positive. MTFU, you unusual little man.

    BUT.

    You people are going nowhere as a country and culture

    So if you think this why do you still live here….
