I’m sorry to have to disagree with the prevailing view, but to my eye there’s a discordant mixture of silver and black there. The colour scheme of the frame was designed for all silver, and in my view that would be best. To me, the black post, stem and (especially) the black cable guide just don’t go with the frame colour. And indeed 1994 was a silver year - every 1994 Kona had silver parts. But if you prefer black, then shouldn’t the clamp and the headset be black as well?
I do like the red bits though – they go very well with the frame and they’re in balance and there’s just the right amount of them.
Something I learned in the KoTM discussion (I think from Geoff) was that the Mountain Shock decal indicates that the bike was built for the Marzocchi XC51 option. And, at least in 1995, the entire colour scheme of the bike (paint plus decals) was different from the Race Light (Project 2) option. So if that was also the case in 94, it’s all the more clever of you to find matching P2s for your Mountain Shock frame!
What are those spokes incidentally?
