1996 Kona Koa

Found this frame at a LBS and couldn't pass it up. This will be my 3rd Kona and my 2nd in my garage. I plan on a FULL XTR m95x build with Syncros seatpost/stem. Here's a preview of my winter project!

What plan, respray or leave as it is??

Was it a bargain??
 
I would like to respray it. Going to contact Gil for some decals. Its in pretty rough cosmetic shape but everything is true. Costed me a kewl $45 CDN ($50 w/ the Zoke XC600). But the seals are shot and I just ordered a threadless headset.
 
Wow great price that :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

What colour would you go same as it is??
 
I'd keep it the same colour if you get it re-sprayed, Koa's are pretty rare and are nice bikes indeed. Those forks are cool too! :cool:
 
Watching this with interest. I have a Koa waiting in line for a resto. Ridden it in anger once and bent the seatpost because I had it too high hehe.

Lol not really, just me on a ridiculously small bike (14") on our usual trails. I wasn't until the end of the ride did I notice it was bent. Lovely Kona Racelite 27.0 as well!
