Adams was a 96 and had the canti guide clamp on the seat tube as well as the correct decals for 96 (main Kona decal text is square type).
Paint and decals aside, from the photo, that is definitely a 97 Kona due to the cable routing. The drop outs and seat stay narrow it to a Hot or a Caldera frame. Thus the only way to tell the two apart (as this apparently been resprayed) is the frame number or detailed analysis of the metal in the main tubes
The stars and bars paint was optional for 97 so lets hope its a rare hot frame rather than a Caldera in drag

Late 96 would fit with being an early MY97 (model year 1997) frame from the cable routing. In a similar to the 2008 frames from various manufacturers which have been out for a month or two already....
Paint wise stars and stripes is very nice, but far too common compared to the jungle/plant/leaves on the Ku (crappy scan doesn't do the paint job justice), as well as being just a bit too "Team America" for my liking.
