All round good guy and SBC friend Woody sent me this bike check of his Kona. Its nice and mutant check the specs.

primo plastic pedals with wig straps
token ceramic headset
stripped salt bmx stem

deore LX v brake caliper and deore brake lever
front wheel – rattlecanned velocity aerohead 26inch 32h, laced 3X to gran comp track hub.
rear wheel – stripped velocity aerohead 26inch 32h, twist laced (i bought the wrong sized spokes!) to on one 135mm fixed/ fixed track hub
tyres – schwalbe big apple 26 x 2.0. with built in suspension if you believe the hype!
16T shimano freewheel / 16T generic fixed cog

found the frame on ebay and as with all my bikes this was put together at minimal cost, with humble styling to make it not so appealing to londons famous bike theives!
not the fastest bike and solid as a tank, but hella fun to ride. it makes me smile everytime.

thanks mark for the rim, wheel build and bars.
thanks to alby for the forks, headset, cranks and rear hub.

cheers
woody
