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

Right doc, cheers for that, and I see you've got the hang of the striking through the text thing now!

I'm a psychiatric nurse, not a psychotic nurse - interesting choice of terms there Kaesae. Oh, and sorry, I only wear my uniform for love play.

Barnsleymitch. Love play I take it you consider your uniform to be a costume or item of apparel associated with sexual arousal. A worrying statement indeed considering the position you hold. I would also ask if you are the nurse in this love play what role does the person your interacting with fulfil. Or do you simply prefer to play with yourself.

Lastly I have as you have pointed out on several occasions in the past a poor ability to spell can any of you tell me if this is spelt correctly

inappropriate behaviour.

Mitch it was a little like that but he took 4 hours to check he had the correct spelling of it all.
STW has taught him something then spelling. Now of we can just teach him to spot irony or humour

anyone know where he gets the frames from yet? Sorry to be repetitive.

can any of you tell me if this is spelt correctly

yes, you have correctly rendered "this"

I only read upto page 2 but this is very funny. Having spoke to my good lady though, she claims that fast ( ie less than 5 minutes) does not always mean good.

I watched the youtube vid and for some reason 2 phrases came into my head...

'Preecious.... preeeecious'

and

'It rubs the lotion on its skin'.

I spent most of the film looking around for a pit. Quite scary.

It's nice to see seasoned medical professionals bickering and sniping like kids - thanks guys, you've restored my faith in the NHS forever.

And kaesae, even a nutcase like you can surely see that the one thing guaranteed to unite everyone on this forum is a universal hatred of bike-thieving scumbags. So why not stop trying to be clever, put down the vitriol and step away. If you're trying to run a legitimate business you have a very funny way of going about it. What's the problem? I don't think you have actually denied that these frames are of dubious origin, have you?

So how long to service a kona frame?

...I dunno if you've noticed yet, but - [u]he's mental[/u] 😯

"It's nice to see seasoned medical professionals bickering and sniping like kids - thanks guys, you've restored my faith in the NHS forever."
Actually, young docroberts and I generally agreed, Kaesae needs a nice lie down in a darkened room - the rest of it was merely the extraction of urine. And to be honest, if you get to the stage where you need help from me (I specialise in forensic psychiatry), then it's best if you stay away from sharp objects and suchlike! (sorry, cant seem to get the smiley face icon thing to work).

bullandbladder yes I did confirm it. I can gaurantee anyone from the police or law enforcement agencies or anyone interested in buying one of my frames that I have legal ownership of all frames, shocks, wheels, mechs, and other MTB associated good sh1t, bearings, bolts, bushes, spacers, £30'000 worth of tooling and equipment. All are owned by me solely and bought legally with receipts to verify my outrageous claims.

Barnsleymitch. That was no joke your psychological make up is that of a predator.

If you consider that harassment and character assassination is funny. If you consider that causing others stress and hardship is an accomplishment. You appear to revel in causing distress or trying to provoke and intimidate people fitting in with the rest of the TV ruined vultures nicely. Anyone who would act the way you do who perceives others as playthings should not in my opinion be working with people who are helpless. As I said very worrying from a psychological profile perspective. god help those you care for.

stonedmonkey: if your ride misbehaves and is a bit of all right I'll happily service it. unwashed and a crap ride I'll give it a miss.

Playthings? You know nothing of me or my life, and with any luck, you never will. If you insist on dishing out worn out plagiarisms, half arsed theories and rabid insulsts, then be prepared to get it back in return. You were funny for a while, now youre just irritating.

£30k worth of tooling?????? Are they gold plated

Kaesae.

Ever stripped a Cove Hustler frame then? Interested in knowing how long it would take you to strip down one of them.

ta

🙂

kaesae care to explain how you managed to wizz around the workshop with such speed of an F1 pit team yet have a crippling back problem? also if you are claiming benifts are they aware you are making extra income off the back of selling these frame on ebay? £30,000 worth of tooling and equipment to repair frames? not even the entire park tool range adds up to that much

barnsleymitch your wrong I know everything I need about you from your behaviour.

bullandbladder baa baa

My wrong what? And in order to become an expert on my 'behaviour' you would have to be able to study it, which as far as I'm aware you havent - or have you been hiding in my kitchen cupboards again?

bullandbladder the one thing that is absolutely sure to unite you cowardly psychological parasites is a chance to take liberties and harass people safe in knowledge there will be no consequences. As long as this entire site sits back quietly while this kind of character assassination and harassment continues not one of your opinions has any value. As far as I’m concerned you are simply another fiend lurking in a human body with all the depth of a teaspoon and all too willing to follow the jackals to their next feeding. You know nothing about me or decency and humanity for that matter.

'It rubs the lotion on its skin'. lol i remember that film...ewww

As long as this entire site sits back quietly while this kind of character assassination and harassment continues not one of your opinions has any value.

im not sitting back quietly, im wetting myself!

greeble Try to remember this and pass it onto the sh!t for brains, we watch TV to educate ourselves, we must be right we're the loudest possy.

I DO NOT ANSWER TO FOOLS.

I still have no idea whats going on...
Are there posts deleted as there seems to be no continuity between comments. Kind of random feeling.

kaesae

where do you get these frames from or are they stolen as many of us suspect?

barnsleymitch I can study your behaviour just as anyone else can it's there for everyone with a basic understanding of motives and attitude to see. Let’s see harassment stalking organizing others into a concerted effort and quite a bit more. You are a psychiatric nurse who specializes in forensics. So you tell me what kind of an effect will this kind of treatment have on someone and there mental state or are you simply trying to help me ? Reverse psychotic psychology your very own kind of healing.
As I have said and continue to say your attitude and subsequent behavior considering the position you hold is worrying.

Tandemjeremy You lot are all TV brain washed your always looking for a plot or storyline otherwise it simply doesn’t make sense or isn’t interesting enough to distract you from how boring and senselessly pointless your lives are. There are millions of used bike frames many of which would be too expensive to refurbish or service and subsequently sell on. Is it too hard for your brain to understand that I specialize in fixing frames cheaply and restoring them so people can use them again. NO PROFFESIONAL TRADER WILL TELL YOU WERE THEY SOURCE THEIR STOCK FROM GENIUS!

Thebikechain can you tell me who supplies you with your stock ? and also how long it took you to find the right supplier ?

I do not believe that there is a supply of legitimate secondhand frames on the scale you have them - simple as.

I don't expect you to tell me the details but enough to convince me they are legitimate.

I know where the bike chain gets its stock from - the legitimate suppliers such as Madison and the other importers.

what's love play..?

Have you ever stripped a Giant Glory Frame down? If so can I get it back as it is probably mine.

Thanks

B

Being a shop kaesae i source all our stock from the relevant supplier, ie Lapierre comes from Hotlines, Shimano from Madison.

Don't confuse being a shop with being an ebay reseller of second hand goods.

Plus we only sell new or ex demo items so i am not sure where you are going with it.

ANY reputable retailer of any good in the world will be transparent and tell people where stuff comes from. To say anything different would be silly.

TandemJeremy As I said TV and stupidity. you do not believe because it fits your plot NOT! 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.

thebikechain Unless their a small trader and it would damage there business to tell people. Ask any second hand car dealer were they get their stock and how see what they tell you. Or ask argos how they respray their frames. Anyway I asked about grease not lapierre or shimano. before I forget how do you guys weather proof your bearings and what kind of bearings do you service your frames with ?. It's easy to be open when your possition is secure.

bruneep do you have the numbers for it ?

depth of a teaspoon

Second Hand Car Dealers - surely they get their stock from car auctions & trade ins.

Oh, the Sale of Goods Act states that "The seller must have the right to sell the goods", therefore the seller should be able to prove that they are not stolen

"Reverse psychotic psychology your very own kind of healing."
You know Kaeasae, it's arse drivel like this that encourages people to keep having a go, but then again, I think you are already aware of that. Could this be a case of unconscious trolling? Think what you like of me, you unusual little man, but please stop whining and playing the victim. As far as your 'business' goes, in spite of claiming to have clarified that youre legitimate, you've done nothing of the sort, and are still coming across as a bit of a dodgy geezer. Try stopping the vitriolic outbursts and insults, be a bit more upfront about your supplier(s),and ease up on the grandiose claims about your abilities. You never know, the people on here may then start to treat you a little more seriously. Just a thought, and for what it's worth, I expect nothing more than further abuse in reply to this. 😕

Our bearings come from the original manufacturer, i,e, hope for hope.

Generics come from the gruff but nice men with oily hands at Forth Engineering. They work well.

Grease, Rock n Roll generally. From Silverfish.

My customers like to know what we use so they know EXACTLY what they are spending their money - plus we don't like secrets. Nasty wee things that pop out later are not nice.

bruneep do you have the numbers for it ?

yes as do the police and my insurance company also data taged

200?

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.

thebikechain I agree secrets are wrong. how much do you pay at trade for your stock ?

I make my own stock from beef carcass and vegetables.

junkyard I will not answer because you have no authority to ask. why exactly does it concern you were I get them. Help me understand how my life and affairs are your business and I might answer.

thebikechain cool but your income comes from your shop would you be willing to teach me how to run a shop and help me become competition ?

kaesae - Member
I agree secrets are wrong.

So tell junkyard what he wants to know?

DEAR GOD WILL SOMEONE MAKE IT STOP!

junkyard
Must be a good liar I've managed to convince an MRI scanner and an osteopath.

bring it on morons after what I've just been through this is a walk in the park.

I suffer from fairly chronic back pain after taking a headder off and 8ft drop into tarmac, whats your point caller?

kaesae - Member
thebikechain I agree secrets are wrong. how much do you pay at trade for your stock ?

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.

Sick men of europe I do not care what you believe and I will not answer to the likes of you.

thisisnotaspoon my poor spelling is a result of pain enduced memory loss and exhaustion WTF caused yours. Into tarmac ? recently laid wet perhaps ? before I forget how deep did you get. Good old gravity still sneaking up on imbesiles.

Blimey kaesae...you're 35?

I would have thought you'd have grown out of deluded internet ramblings by now!

Ever stripped down a Saracing?

barry bethel blimey jee golly is that your actual name ?

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.

apart from giving all your personal details out on a forum full of IT specialists who using such things?

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.

izakimak why do you want to know ?

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.

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.

Another genius from STW

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?

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

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.

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.

curly68 The amazing powers of PAJAMA MAN!

Enough now.....this is starting to get creepy.

Coming soon to kaesae's ebay site, a '"professionally" resprayed and restickered demo 9...' 😉

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.

Gary an unusual name that glad your not another clone or an idiot that goes on about giving out names then has a user name that does exactly that.

sobriety genius

Is this still going? I like riding bikes i do.

and where does my username link to anything else online? You even gave your/a date of birth you muppet.

Do you come from Lagos?

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.

I've so far managed to avoid posting on this thread.

BUT.

You people are going nowhere as a country and culture

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

And no that's not a question. 🙄

mummy make the scary man go away.
