91/92 (?) Kona Hot with U-brake. TET 367. (Tom Teesdale http://redkiteprayer.com/2014/07/tom-te ... membrance/). I don´t how many they made each year, but it has U-brake. First I have seen with that. So would think 92 latest?

Was set up with full XT originally, but previous owner stripped it... Besides the u-brake that I think they did with Deore to match all the other chrome. It had XT seatpost as well. I have the original tires and grips as well. Everything was there.

Need to paint the fork and stem, but I think the paint on the frame is ok. But at least I got all the important parts including the original titanium bars.

Re:

That is very cool! The U-brake fitting was almost certainly a custom order (my old 1991 Hot that was built in '90 had canti mounts).

Can't be very many like it at all - look forward to seeing it built up :cool:
 
The reason why stem and fork needs new paint. Luckily the frame does not have the same issues.

And another pic of the Tange Prestige Ultimate Ultrastrong tubing.
