I've owned this for approx 4 years. I built it up with fairly low spec components and rarely rode it. Now it's time to move it on to clear some space and fund other builds.
I've tried to get some background information (with some help from Fluffychicken and a few emails to tech@konaworld) on this and think it was made in 2003. Frame number is F310K0049. The original prototypes were made in 1993/4 see link below:

If it is indeed a 2004 model then the full geometry is at the bottom of the page on the link below.

The frameset retailed for £800 in 2004 see link below:
http://www.konabikeworld.com/bikes/fram ... e_shop.htm
Spec as follows:
Seat tube 16.5" c-c, 18.5" c-t
Top tube 20.25" c-c
Columbus Zonal 7005 triple butted
Columbus HM Carve carbon forks and seat stays
Includes BB (don't even know but nothing special) and Ritchey Scuzzy Logic sealed cartridge headset and generic seatpost clamp. Barrel adjuster on down tube.
There no cracks or dents that I can see. There are some stone chips etc and a couple of small areas where the paint is bubbling. Pictures below with more by clicking the here.
It's hard to put a price on this as they don't come up very often but I'm asking £135 including postage in the UK. I will send worldwide so feel free to ask me for a quote.
Alternatively I will happily swap/px against a nice 16" Brodie frame - always worth a shot
