ti konas never get old.

im just witing for my time to sweep a 17 incher up and my life will be complete! :D

i like those decals, make a refreshing change :cool:
 
The decals look like 1996 ones, with the main decals blue and the spiral in blue and silver/grey. The 94 decals were silver and had an orange and silver/grey spiral.
 
Not sure came off teh kona rep and he was very adimant it was a 1994 frame as that was they year he joined th company but may have had a decal change

Yes, lots of ti bikes lose their original decals. I don't know of any distinguishing marks that differentiate between the 94, 95 and 96 Hei Heis, so if you're interested in being sure of what year it is, the best way is to email the serial number on the bb shell to tech@konaworld.com and ask him.
 
I'm pretty sure that is a '94 as I have a '93 one and the decals are very different, think Kona changed them again around 97

Very nice build, must be very pleased with it :D
