Quite, that IMO does not need or warrent any kind of respray, plus why would you kit it out with xt or xtr kit when it's a "bottom" of the range frame? Just enjoy it for what it is!

Well said. People so easily put down the lower end frames IMO they deserve just as much attention as frames higher up the food chain. Retro kona frames are always worthwhile as the lower end frames stick to thwe same Geometry as the higher ones.

I myself as much as I have higher end bikes such as my 1996 Super V DH active at present I am rebuilding a Kona Hahanna in order to make an all round bike yes I may be spending more on this bike than people think is sensible but its a good solid frame and I enjoy it.
