Kona Hot 1993?

Excuse my ignorance, where is the 20 mm difference between a 1993 & 1994 P2 fork?mkone":13qohzy1 said:Hi, welcome to the site. Great frame you have there
Its hard to tell from your pictures but a way to tell the year is the rear dropouts. If they have triangle holes in them then its a '93, if they dont then its a '94 or later.
If its a '93 then you should be looking for a 390mm P2 fork, if a '94 then they changed to the 410mm. And you need to look for the triple butted version ideally

Confirmed it is a 1993 frame. That said is there a big difference between a 390mm fork & 410mm? Would a 410 mm fork work?

The fork lengths are the axle to crown measurements. The extra 20mm would be in the fork legs, like above, to compensate for suspension forks.
Using the longer fork would work but also as above would change the geometery of the frame. Not by much and unless you switched from one to the other you probably wouldnt notice that much
