1998 Kona Kilauea

Giro9

Dirt Disciple
So I have a 1998 Kona Kilauea 19" in the garage gathering dust. It is in almost original spec. (http://www.klassickona.com/oldgold/98bikes/kilauea.html), I have owned the bike since new and I have all of the supporting paperwork, including the original bike shop hanger card!

I believe that the only changes are the wheels and saddle. They have been replaced by:
Front: Hope hub with Mavic 217 rim
Rear: Shimano LX or XT (Parallax) hub with Mavic 217 rim
Saddle: Selle Italia Flite

I even have the original Kona Break and Enter tyres that are practically unused.

I can count the number of times the bike has been off-road and got properly dirty on one hand. The bike has done maybe 1500 miles in total. There are a few very light marks on the frame and some cable rub.

I'll happily post pictures if people are interested.

Is there a market for Kona's in this condition, should I take my luck on the Bay, or split for parts?

Thoughts welcome.
 
I bought a 1997 Kilauea from my mate years ago and loved the bike.
Purple colour and awesome decals.

Lets see some pcs :)
 
Ok so here are the pixs

Of course there is amarket for these things, you're on a website that does a huge trade in 2nd hand bycicles :LOL:

Parts will get your more, but is more hassle

If you're after a price, please post in the correct section

otherwise, nice looking kona ;)
 
you'll get the most for this if you put it on Ebay. Despite not being in the right thread I'd say you could get anything from £3-400 with a decent wind.
 
Very nice indeed, would be in the market for the frame, if I didn't already have one waiting to be built up (not found any decent forks yet).
