should I ebay it or just sell it on here to a nice Kona loving soul.

I have owned it since new & it has had a good life, usused the last few years, been a SS & my main bike for many years.

It did loose the braze on the downtube, but that was fixed courtesy of RideOn a good few years ago.

It is just the frame, fork, seatpost & seat I would be selling.

Not sure what you should ask for it, maybe £150 as a starting/bartering point? In my mind I wouldn't expect to get that but stick it on Retrobike and then eBay if no joy there.

Lovely frame though.

A good example frame only with minor patina I would expect to raise maybe £130 to £150.

Honestly frame only for yours closer to the £100 mark as realsitically it will need a complete overhaul - paint and decals.

Unless you have dog collar for running the rear canti thats another £15 to £20 odd to factor in for a potential buyer

That said its always difficult trying to price things like this. On one hand its a decent steel frame and a Kona. On the other hand its a Kona and so come up fairly often.

Why not retro mod it with a disc tab?

cheers guys.

There are some surprisingly high prices there

Bit of a noob when it comes to selling things.
I'll give it a go.

Definitely head over to Retrobike for a valuation - many a Kona guru on there will be able to help.
