1989 Kona Lava Dome Retro Vintage MTB Mountain Bike small/medium. An early survivor from late 80s MTB boom. Last time bikes were really popular with general population. My brother had a white and grey one, I was quite jealous, but this yellow splatter was the one he really wanted. This is in as found condition. I have to cut down on the maybe one day projects that have accumulated. It seems in reasonable condition particularly considering it’s age with what looks to be original finish. I can include correct x1 levers, as shown. There are several areas of surface corrosion, but this should be a relatively easy abrade and touch in of these bits and the paint splatter finish will take the eye off a great many imperfections in finish. A nice, easy refurb of an acknowledged retro classic MTB. Headset is notchy, BB turns reluctantly but no play, but could well turn out ok with regrease and new balls. It’s adjustable for bearing preload on non drive side. I’ve not even tried to undo this as not got proper tool. Paint damage to brake calipers, levers. Corrosion to seatpost binder. 415mm centre BB axle to top seat collar.
