FS: Kona Project 2 fork + stem + headset + free (broken) frame

doozerie

I'm selling a Kona Project 2 fork with cantilever bosses (no disc mount). I bought it new in or around 2004 and used it on my commute bike until 2013. It comes with an Orbit Xtreme headset (haven't checked the bearings so might be okay or might need replacing), and a Ritchey Pro 110mm stem.

Asking price: 30euro. I am in Dublin 16.

These are all still fitted to a Kona Kilueaua steel MTB frame, as per the pictures. This is an 18" frame, from memory. The Kona seatpost is seized in the frame, it may actually be easy enough to remove I haven't bothered even trying. The saddle is still attached to the seatpost in the pictures, but the saddle is useless as one of its rails is snapped (misery loves company!).

You can have the frame with the forks if you want it. It's broken, as per the photos it is snapped at the rear dropout, drive side. The original dropout snapped at the very same spot a couple of years before, Kona grudgingly replaced the dropout and returned it with the new dropout unfinished - clearly a "lifetime warranty on our frames" is more of a guideline as far as Kona are concerned.

I primed the new dropout and painted it but as the photos show it rusted over time so I did a poor job there. It snapped again in the same spot and Kona refused to do anything with it. I have grown to despise the company, so while in theory this is a decent steel frame that can be repaired and given a new lease of life, I want to have nothing more to do with them or it and just want rid of it. For reference, I was quoted about 200euro a couple of years back to have the frame repaired and repainted by an Irish frame builder.
