Needs a bigger gear.
They do like to be ridden fast.

No your the second person to tell me that. Cranks are as they came off the Kona. I knew after I took the photo I should have put the 44 back on 
Will end up with a 44(ish) on the front for roadie duties. Haven't got a firm rear end answer yet SS for now.

Sounds like some 44:15 action is in order.

Fark that Hamiltons flat, but I'm not that mental (yet  ).
I don't need to ride that fast either.

Vintage Yak Laguna, 29 inch frame, 700c wheels, 43 x 18 ratio.
Other features include "starship enterprise" pedals, new alloy bmx cranks, and SRAM singlespeed chain. (Thanks to Bike Barn for awesome service and great prices)
It was part of a "box of parc" that I bought off Trademe for $50. Had a couple of other frames and bits and pieces that I sold for about $30. So initial cost was about $20.
Next step is the powdercoat paint job... |
That truly looks brilliant. You should add a biopace chain ring like they had when the Y.A.K was at it's prime....

Nice one. Looks a bit 'bitsy' at the mo'... but I guess that's 'cause it's in bits. Can't wait to see it finished.
We can form a "silly bars, skinny tyres" club now.
