Unfortunately, this beauty got stolen in Edinburgh, UK back in 2012. However, had numerous Cinder Cones since. Currently I use a 2004 one. Will get pics soon. Thanks to the commenters.

Loving the Kona I've still got a Kona Explosif from about the same era !

Appreciate the comments. This was a beautiful project, and it went like the clappers - great ride. Sadly, it got stolen from my balcony in 2012. I'd like to catch the culprits, but looks like it's gone for good. Very sad.

A chro-mo cindercone...Gotta be a 10, reminds me of my old 94 cindercone which came with Joe murray components, P2 forks, velocity stem....I really miss that bike, excellent climber too, & very light

It's it's 15th birthday next year! I'm lucky if a bike lasts me 4 years, my last 3 have only lasted 4 or less. 15 is immense. It still looks pretty tidy too.
