Kona Yee-Ha Rebuild-BMX/Road/Mountain

[TheFlyingDingo]

Well, Picked up a Kona Yee-Ha on one of my routes, Didnt know what to do with it until I sat on it. I've got some parts sitting here, so I thought I might as well mix it up and make a BMX cruiser thing out of it.

Heres some parts I'm going to throw at it:

Its a 1999 Kona, heres the original stuff:

A little progress. Found some Deore thumb shifters, They just happened to be basically brand new since i pulled off the plastic covering the silver. Had to boil the grips for a couple seconds...it expanded them so they slipped right on...they even softened up. they werent rubber, they were PVC.

Think I can run U brakes on this?

This thing rides great!
I gotta rip it back apart and throw some new cables on there. Might go with a mess of colors...or just black again.

Also really really needs new tires.

I'll probably end up selling it, but probably wont get the price I want.
