Always thought those three tidy looking bikes would look much better with black rims. Especially the Explosif.

Nice none the less.

One of the reasons I put black mavics on my 89 Fire Mountain...the other reason was that my mate, as a joke, tried to run off with my bike and fell on the back wheel...he wasn't a small chap so the back wheel was knackered.

Being yoofs at the time we thought we could straighten it...nope...then we thought we could build our own wheels...after all, how hard can it be? All the spokes are the same length, just tighten them all up by the same amount, job done....job not done, job a total waste of time, job was taken to a man that can!

But yeah I like my black rims :D
 
my neck was hurting so I rotated it for us

Nice scans :cool: best years were when konas had splatter paint jobs ;)
 
I'm no Kona expert but that '89 green/yellow splatter Prestige with Deore II (and U brake!) is such a classic model that sticks in my mind I have never forgotten it! Plus it is with so many other '89 brochures I have I am sure it is that year.

Happy to be corrected though...

;)
