Chris's Kona.
In response to my shout out for a midnight blue Kona Lava Dome, Chris from Aldershot got in touch to offer me first refusal (or swapsies) on his purple weapon.
Unfortunately, according to the hazy pics on Bikepedia, I reckon this is 2002 vintage, officially after Kona lost the plot with its frame designs. Let’s keep it old-skool, Chris. But good luck with off-loading the rig – and nice shed by the way!

The Catlike Whisper.
I know I bought a new helmet this summer. But it’s too dome-like. I bought it in a hurry and I got a size too big, and I don’t like it, so I’m buying a new one. The Catlike Whisper is on the list for next year.
Some shots from my visit to the Cycle Show on Sunday. I went along with Jonny and C to check out shiny bikes and trick bits.
On the whole, I was a little disappointed by the show, which didn’t live up to my expectations from other bike shows (like the unforgettable Bike ‘96!):
And where were the freebies? That’s why we pay £12 a ticket! Literally, I got 2 Windose energy gels and a badge.
Somehow I can’t see myself every forking out for battery-powered gears. But then we all said that about bar-ends and carbon-fibre…
Looking forward to heading to the Cycle Show at Earl’s Court this Sunday.
