the cotic might have more zing like the old konas but are they more superior otherwise I might as well stick with my old kona!

trout?

where can I find about that?

Sorry to be a bore but can someone detail the P7 option for me please?

is that a 26″ or 29″ wheel swiftacular?

I love the look of the singulars I must admit…if |I wanted to test where would be the nearest place?

not good enough to keep my feet on the pedals

🙁

always has been; will be fit!

AYUP – where is the best place to buy?

Combined cost of joystick and enduro is £400+ ?

yes I am not sure XC = spds necessarily…I find I am clipping out ‘just in case’ all the time on technical stuff.

Thanks for the Tesla link snakebite but isnt 250 a bit expensive for a single light?

I guess the uphills will be about weight…I love single track so I want a bike to do that job at least

Not sure about the flats are good for commute comment?

I used to use flats on my old cindercone. They were like big bear traps and I loved them, then I got convinced by posts here and all the mags that you needed SPDs so got some spuds. I miss my flats and might take another look at them. I think clipless or spds are good for on road where you need the pedal efficiency but off road when a dab here and there is useful I am not so sure 🙂

yes scandal maybe hard but the carbon rigid forks help I believe?

what is the simple like Jase?

inbred sounds good but would it not be any better than the cone?

The lack of discs would not be a problem as in most situations v brakes are fine!

I like no cables and the joystick is so neat for the commute…

the DX is p7 not ps2 sorry 🙁

The battery faff does put me off the p7 option a little…I like the look of the ay-ups but they are pricey…

would a joystick and a exposure maxx enduro for off road be a bit expensive?

I tend to use muti grain bars either the raisin or the oat ones…other than that have made some energy bars from a cycling mag that are good.

repair – think of the environment not just cost and besides it is good practice for when you do not have a spare tube!

I find MTB tubes easy to repair but road or skinny tubes very difficult.

This is my kona cindercone SS conversion. The original bike was a 1997 cone i bought second hand in 99 from recycle in Penge for £230.

The bike has done me excellent service geared and SS and I have tried to replace it with a string of bikes but none has come close…kona cindercone 2001 (alu) and kona unit 2-9.

5 mile commute…all down hill in the morning and uphill on the way home. The downhill was pretty sketchy and I nearly wiped out a pedestrian on the way!

The steep uphill coming home was not so much fun but I cycled most of it. In parts the snow was too deep to turn the cogs!

I live in kent BTW 🙂

Tomorrow I am trying the MTB as today I was on the SS cyclo cross.

thanks singlespeedstu 😉

nice heh?

any more comments?

what asking too much or optimistic to fit the kona cindercone?

kona cindercone 97

several inches fell in our part of Kent and still coming down!

Here’s a 16″ kona unit 2-9…

or a kona cindercone SS conversion 97 (18″)…

But I would go cyclo cross such as this old alu Topcross…

might commute in the snow – wise?

commuting and training it is ace!

I am interested in the wheels futureboy77…

oh BTW the chain is slack because the tensioner got wiped and I have not replaced it yet 😉

ok here’s my kona cindercone 97 SS conversion…

Ok here are mine, probably not that cool!

Tricross looks good but I have one of these…

difference being it is a steel road bike. Price is about the same just under £300…

Or I built one of these…

to replace this…

for this…

I never cleaned mine but then I just used water. I then used a formula drink and left it for two weeks …erghhhhhh…

BTW why put it in the freezer uplink?

I need a new tensioner for my kona now…or gt the magic chain length
