did I mention somewhere else, that I like 96 Konas

wow cheers dude.

I have the exact same frame/bike. It makes for a really great ride and is probably the best handling bike I've ridden, very underated I think

she sure is purdy

fresh from the powder coaters.

That looks a million times better
You cant believe they were the same bike .well done to the P/C's and a damn good choice of colour.
What spec and dressage are you putting on?
Going for the Black/White contrast,or something different :?

[interesting settee ]

to be honest its going straight on ebay as it is. got enough bikes! just took a punt on ebay as dont see to many 'period' kona aluminium frames, and this looked like a prime candidate for a refresh. will let someone else benefit...

hope you get a decent price for it
though you should as it now looks brand new
I can see the title#
FOR SALE 1 old new bike frame

not far off!
