[nitan]

Hi guys, i am looking to get a Kona NuNu 2003 model, just wondering if anyone here knows where i can get hold of one for a decent price, they seem to be retailing for about £650, if anyone knows where i can get one for less then i would appreciate the tips...cheers

Nitan :)

Hey Nitan, I don't know where you can get one in the UK but I do own one it is the best bike I have owned. Hope you can find one. :D

Just bought a new bike. Was looking at Norco, but ended up ordering a Santa Cruz Superlight. Can't wait to get home and ride it!

[nitan]

oh man i want one so bad....its such a sweet bike, the 2003 model looks awesome too...but i cant really afford £650 at the mo, as soon as i have a job i will be getting one...hopefully that will be b4 the summer is over!! I will also be needing some new gear to go with the bike actually, some SPD's and new shoes....as well as a camelbak or somin similar....so i will be spending in excess of £700+ perhaps over £800 including a lock and stuff (my last bike got stolen so i will be getting a much more expensive lock this time) Man i cant wait to get out in the forest and trails again....its been a while but the Kona does look soooooo damn sweeeeeeeeet....oh man....anyone wanna buy one for me :D

I've been riding a cheap pair of wellgo spd's on my singlespeed for a few years now and they aren't too bad ... nice and cheap too. I'm going to give some eggbeaters a shot with the new bike though. Gonna have to get a pair of platforms and pads too (lots of North Shore stuff around where I live.)
Good luck finding a place to pick up the frame :)

[nitan]

hrm yeah i was looking at some eggbeaters, but i am kinda used to SPD's now so i think i will stick with them...tho i guess it wouldnt take too long to adjust to the beaters....i think i will stick with Shimano SPD's but my cannondale shoes are a little beat up so i think i will have to get a new pair...

i've had a lot of luck with merlin and "les's discount cycles" <- and yes i know how dodgy that sounds.

les is in the docklands if he's still trading and merlin is online.. best bet is to grab a copy of MBUK and trawl through the ad's

[nitan]

got MBUK, having a look through, no one seems to do discounted prices...everywhere seems to have the NuNu for £650...so tempted to buy it on overdraft...but including other bits of kit i am looking at £800 as i sed...not sure if i can do that to my bank account :(

Just bought myself a new front wheel and disc brake from Merlin. I can highly recommend them, used them loads without a problem.

NuNus a nice bike, but if you can, wait untill you've got a job, then get a really nice one :) Christ knows how much i've spend on bike bit ans accessorys over time.

also worth looking at:

hrm...the only thing i am looking at other than the NuNu is the Kula, but the nunu shares the same geometery so i aint too fussed, either way i am going to have to wait until i have a job. Ah we will see, going to a recruitment fair 2moro so fingers x'd....

[Shep]

My next bike... MMMmmmmm.

maybe, in a year or two.

[nitan]

i'm not a massive fan of full sus bikes, the best i have ridden was a customized Orange that one of my mates had but that cost a pretty penny...or a few thousand as the case may be....

[Shep]

almost forgot... ebay, that where i got mine form, absolute bargain is was too. You do often see high quality bikes there for very reasonable prices, so keep an eye on it.

[nitan]

yeah cheers shep, will be keeping an eye out, might check out some free ads papers or somin too...oh on a side note shep do u know of any companies off hand that are recruiting?? I went to a recruitment fair yesterday but there wasnt that much there really, the police is looking like an option but my heart really isnt into that...there was one promising company that took my CV, alson gonna apply online for that but we'll see

'fraid not, exhausted all that info in that thread a while back (if you can find it)
