This isn' a build really, just a temporary lash-together so I can ride the frame a bit before it gets some much-needed TLC. Don't tell me it's been repainted, I noticed! And no it isn't a 97 Kilauea, even though it has 97 Kilauea decals (a 97 Kilauea had top tube fm cable routing, etc.)
So what is it then? Should alarm bells be ringing? Well you can see that the top and down tubes are tapered (34 deep at the front, 30 at the back). And in fact they're oval too (30/27 wide). I'm pretty sure that means they're Tange Prestige Concept, which in turn means that it's a Kilauea from either 94 or 95. Phew! Not a Hahanna then! But I did know that, or I wouldn't have bought it. But retro-kudos to anybody who can tell me whether it's a 94 or a 95, because I for one haven't yet discovered what the difference is (if any).
Finally who can spot what is unique about the frame? The clue is you can't see it - and remember it's a 94 or a 95 frame.
