Twin discs so you can always bang a set of 26" wheels in, you might lose half an inch of ground clearance at the crank.

I've been hanging my nose over the Kona Roadhouse since they came out and now they're being sold off in advance of the 2017 model coming out I couldn't resist. First proper ride this evening and I'm *very* impressed:

No
6'2", but with long legs for my height. That's a 58cm frame, as the top tube length is spot on for me. Hence the long seatpost and stack of spacers.

This bike was up for sale on the CTC site for £150 but nobody bit. It then went down to £110 and I could not resist. I was informed it had been re-enameled a few years ago and not used since. It has 7 speed campag mirage levers, campag record rear mech, TA chainset and Weinnman wheels with Campag hubs and new Michelin tyres. It also came with a spare record rear mech, spare set of Mavic wheels with Campag hubs incl new tyres and tubes. All wheels look brand new with no discernable rim wear. Plus tools, 6 new inner tubes, bike stand, spare freewheel, pump and new overshoes. I thought is was worth a punt. Had to change the stiff headset and fitted my own saddle and new bar tape. It's a lovely cream colour. I was told it's a 70s bike but looks 80s to me. Rides beautifully.
There is some marking from what looks like sellotape neat the lugs but unsure how to clean it off without damaging paint.

May be worth trying to remove the marks with a soft rag dipped in white spirit.

I use lighter fluid on a clean rag. Gets off sticky logo residue and marks easily.

White spirit works too, same method though.
