OK here are mine: 96-LavaDome bought new, 95-CinderCone rebuild just finished (here), 99-HeiHei is my next little project.
Nice looking through this thread seeing all the variations and different themes / ideas people have. Great stuff 8)


Love that colour Lava Dome, very striking.

Here's my '95 Cinder Cone. Sadly got hit by a car 2 weeks ago. I had a very short flight (30' or so) but the landing wasn't very nice and the dear old thing suffered a shattered back wheel, top tube dents and a (very slightly) bent frame. :cry:

It should be repairable but it was in such lovely condition. Much like me I guess. :roll:

Forgot to add my finished 1997 Kona U'hu which was a Karma raffle win from ollyb83 on here.

Quite pleased with it even if it is a little on the large side.

Wow. Over the last 3 or 4 days, I've worked through this whole thread with increasing envy. The result is that I've set my sights on getting another Kona. I used to have a Cinder Cone (from 2000 I think) which got nicked. It was just a phenomenal bike that felt like nothing else I've ever ridden.

So I'll start watching eBay. Saving my pennies. I haven't seen a thread on here where people can register their interest, like a wanted thread, but if I've missed it please let me know.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post pictures of their rides on here. Inspirational stuff.
