Anyone know what this kona bike is?

SilverC · Dec 29, 2013

Just wondering if any retro kona experts know what this is

It's not a great photo. I was thinking of going for a risky unseen buy as the owner says its a Dawg, but I've never seen one in this colour before.

Thanks in advance

I don't think it's a Kona. No Dawg looked like that, nor had a coil shock.

Looks like a Diamondback to me

Agree with the above, I don't think it's a Kona. The Dawg frames look to have a different lower shock mount:

I agree with the others, I don't think its a Kona. As far as I can remember, once they got to this style front end, they all had asymmetrical chainstays (the drive side dropped lower).

Also, even on the larger frames, the shock mounted just above the bottom bracket and not as high as in that picture.

I stand corrected - there was indeed a Dawg that had a coil shock, just one:
