After searching the World Wide Web for a very long time for an 18” 1999 Hei Hei, I finally stumbled across this 1998 last Saturday on a Plymouth based cycling enthusiast’s site. Thanks Google… page 13 as I recall!
I have only popped this picture up for now “As is” the morning after getting it home – as you can see, it is in fine fettle with fairly intact original decals.
When it is finished to my own preferred build, I can post it on the Kona Owner’s Thread.
As far as I can establish, all Hei Heis with a KH prefix are the same geometry, and only the decals determine the year being either ‘98 &’99 – along with the sequential serial number. Mine is KH18022.
I would like to thank all of the Kona experts who regularly contribute to this site, without whom I would not have acquired my current knowledge on all things Kona – particularly the titanium models.
Anthony, andrewl, Caramba Kid, DM, FluffyChicken, Kona Paul, konaman1, letmetalktomark, mousemat, Neil G, Tallpaul… Apologies to anyone that I’ve missed.
I would say that this bike now probably completes what has clearly turned into a collection…. Well maybe a ’97 Explosif or Kilauea….
Cheers to everyone.
Pip.
