FS - Kona Singlespeed - €350

BeardyGit

Now, here's the important bits. It's a single-speed 'cheater'. It's fitted with a new 42t front chainring with brand X narrow bolt kit (red anodised). On the back, it has a Fire-eye chain tensioner and a 16/18t combination spacer and cog kit to replace the 8/9 speed cassette. This basically means it's a single speed bike, with a freewheel of course, that you can set up either with the 16 or 18t rear cog to adjust your gearing. All parts involved are new and were bought from CRC over the course of the last 6 months or so. It's not a fixie, just in case anyone's confused.

I'm also including a set of Dirt-Monkey mudguards which will fit if you stick a set of slicks on it for commuting, but won't work with the 2.1's at the moment. This isn't a hodge podge mix of spare parts, it was assembled using parts bought specifically for the job and using a couple of my long term favourites (like the saddle and SPD's)

All in, I reckon this bike is standing me something like:

frame - c100
seatpost - 30
clamp - 8
wheels - 120
tyres - 50
singlespeed stuff - 80
bars - 40
Stem - 30
saddle - 60
cables - 20
brake levers - 30
V's - 30
sundries - 50

That's €648. Let's round it down to 600.

I'll accept €350 for the bike if anyone's interested, but no lower than that, for a hassle free and fair deal for all. It's a really lightweight, low maintenance bike that I'd put together hoping to cycle to work in the finer weather this year, although my brother reckon's it would be a useable machine for the likes of Ballinastoe too. A knee injury's ruled that out for the foreseeable future, so I'd rather see it go than sit there in the apartment reminding me of what I'm missing out on.

id have ate your hand off 2 weeks ago!! but ive a firemountain frame and a set of bombers, xt and carbon fibre goodies waiting to be built now!!

sounds like a lil beast, what year is the frame???

beans

Hmmm... I may be interested

Any chance of arranging a look-see? PM me if you like

I'm happy to have anyone come view it, but a test ride will require 100% of the asking price to be left with me while you take it for a spin. Had a little trouble chasing someone who thought he'd relieve me of a bike before without paying for it. I don't like having to run.

I'm about a 10 minute walk from Stillorgan LUAS station, towards Stillorgan village on the way out of Sandyford Ind. Est.
