Ox_Wagon Posted March 16, 2009 Share My Hub sourced Retro hardtail project. The Kona AA with yellow RS 21R fork was my dream bike why back when.... So I was very happy when I found the 1995 AA frame. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> The fork is a 60mm Judy C of the same age with a long travel kit that increased the travel to 80mm that has been on my Mongoose for ages. The groupo is mostly 7sp LX. I still need to replace the Sachs FD as it is using a heavy duty spring that does not work that well with the shifters. I am currently using the single speeds projects wheels with old school (1.95?) Tioga XC tires which I will most probably replace with something with a lot more volume, read softer ride.

wesf Posted March 17, 2009 Share Very nice. I have a Kona Hahanna cromo frame that i am deciding what to do with. My biggest prob is trying to find a fork!!!! any ideas? Did you respray that frame? Where did you get decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox_Wagon Posted March 17, 2009 Share Yip, KDEE, as you can see I put them to good use. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> I am definitively going to use the bike. That is what I build it for. Wesf, the frame needed a lot of TLC. To keep the cost down I simply touched up all the scratches and stone chips. So it is still the original graphics. The end result is good enough for a MTB. I also have 1996 rigid CroMo Hahanna that I want to convert to a single speed but the project has been put on ice due to the credit crush. I am also still using its wheels on the AA at the moment. I want to upgrade my other Kona to disk brakes but that project has also been a victim of the credit crunch and unaffordable UST tires. I have a problem paying more for a single UST tire than I paid for the Hahanna. The moment I have done that I can use it?s wheel on the AA and the Hahanna can have its wheels back.
