Yellow 1995 Kona Kilauea

Re: What year is my Kona Kilauea from?

:shock: So it's original made for north America?
Will the frame number tell anything?
 
Re: What year is my Kona Kilauea from?

Here is pictures of the rear dropouts and the seattube, the seattube is wider at the bottombracket.. Hope it says something. The framenumbet is F5031363 i think.

Re: What year is my Kona Kilauea from?

it seems, that I have the brother of your frame:



as far as I know that it was also originally purchased via Denmark, before I bought it from a German.
 
Re: What year is my Kona Kilauea from?

It seem less metallic sparkly than yours. Is looks like the Sex Two? colour I've seen pastel style ?

Date say's a late 1995 model year (March 1995)
and it's not into the 1996 model as that used Columbus Cyber tubing and not the Tange concept tubing here

(viewtopic.php?t=170645 for the 1996 version of the frame, ignore the colour)

(sex two, flatter colour but 96 viewtopic.php?t=116651)
 
Re:

Our Danish Kona friends will explain it better than I: it was one of the main import hot spots back in the day so there are quite a lot more of the rarer models and colour schemes in and around Denmark.
 
Re:

Mine is also made in tange prestige concept. I don't know how to read the production date out of the frame number??
I think it looks like the same color these two kilauea :p
