1988 Kona Fire Mountain, Curved P2, Unusual Colour Scheme

There are a few '88 Fire Mountains in the black/purple splatter paint job around, but this is an oddity.

The colour scheme is the same as the Cascade Lava Dome

and the spec is very similar too but the tubing is the same as the Cascade Fire Mountain. The u-brake has gone to the seat stays and the top tube is sloping. The stem and bars seem to be identical.

It seems to be another incremental step between Cascade and Kona predating the black/pink catalogue spec. It has a Canadian bike shop sticker on it but I bought it here in New Zealand a couple of weeks ago. It was complete and original, I stripped it down before thinking I should take a picture. It's a 17.5" c-c and 22.5" actual top tube. It's a huge head tube for what is probably a 19" frame.

Anyone seen one this colour before or have any further info?
