Kona Stuff Downhill/Jump bike

Came as a frame/forks with a bag of parts... Nice bike though; )

Needed brakes (Shimano BR-M365 M355 Altus Hydraulic Disc Brakes Front/Rear) & some TLC to get it riding on Boxing Day: )

Still needs an 8 speed cassette, a chain & front derailler to get the 24 gears available.
Rear wheel - not original- has a 9 speed cassette & obviously does not work well with the original 8 speed changers. Getting 7 of 9 gears currently, after some fiddling...

High quality, tough alloy frame with Dart forks in good order & it rides nicely right now.

An 8 speed cassette is £13 at Halfrauds currently. £7 for a new chain and it'll be a super bike. I've got a front derailler to fit & it could really do with a couple of replacement front chain rings to be perfect.

It'll need a saddle also (this one is borrowed off my Raleigh Merlin: ) & some better pedals will also improve it.

I reckon this one is 2009ish & they cost £750 then, so a top machine in the day. And still good.

The cables for the Front Derailler are not in use here, but installed ready for use later.

This particular frame has a long seat-post, so it can be used as a 'normal' MTB for road use, but you can also lower it for hard core DH/Jump stuff: ) The bars can be raised with a suitable riser stem. It's a bit low here for a 6 footer: )

How you doing with it Woz??
