Hi Buddy
welcome to RB
have you checked out the archive section, 1990 is missing but there is info from 92 onwards
and a lot before 1990
Here's the link

Re:
My first MTB was a Hookooeekoo - it got stolen in Kingston upon Thames - absolutely gutted. I still have the saddle since that's all that was left behind!
I might be able to dig up a pic and scan it.
I bought it in 1990, but not sure of the model year. It was black, with 1.25 inch oversized headset and Suntour trigger shifts - a bit like the first rapidfires, but really stiff to move. Suntour groupset, but cannot remember which level - definitely not XCpro, as I had a friend with an Orange O with that and it was in a different league.

Re: Re:
Strange you should mention the stiff shifters, I've recently put some NOS Suntour Accushift trigger shifters on my 1990 Cindercone and put the stiffness down to age
I think the groupset you'd have would be Suntour XCD if XC Pro was off the table, have a look at my Kona build (link in my signature) and see if it brings back memories.... I believe it was only available in 1990

It would have had STI levers. Re:
Having a look through the web I'm pretty sure it was Suntour X-1, though it was in the midst of a very boozy period - aaah those were the days...
Havent found the pics as yet - could be in any one of several boxes, but I grabbed a pic of the saddle! It now sits proudly on my Puch sports 5 which I've had since I was a teenager - now my nipping-to-the-post-office bike - marginally more comfortable than the original solid plastic addle, but still not something I could sit on for a long stretch...

My 88 HKEK had clickers, so I'm sure this would have.
Neat Estay! Never knew they did them.
