Dusty shop find, 94 or 95 ? (Kilauea content)

[NakedGav]

Just popped into the local bike shop when I was passing yesterday and saw this girl lying all dusty and unloved at the back.
Some period parts on it and some replacements which are to be shipped out in due time.
The question is what year is it, 94 or 95 ?
I suspect it's a 95 but I can't be definite as I only have the spec for the 94.
The frame number is 5090057 if that's of any help !

Unfortunate seat post there. Good luck. :cry:

95 and interestingly has a P2 yet a Mountain Shock sticker. Must have been swapped at some point.

Bring her back to life!

It came with a P2 option. See top left corner.

Yeah, that confused me a little as well. It's a good thing though as I prefer this one to be a rigid.
Don't worry she'll shine again, first job's to get the stuck seatpost out.
I don't suppose anyone has or knows where I can find the 1995 build spec ?

here is the american spec of the marzocchi version, but not sure what differences were in spec other than fork, if any.

It may have been originally fitted with a suspension fork as i had 2 identical cindercones. One had shox with the mountain shock sticker and the other had p2 fork with a race light sticker instead. Im sure someone more knowledgeable will confirm this or tell me to shut up!

Good find there mate, but what will Jo say?

Oh only 1" of projecting seatpost doesn't give us much to work with :!:
Sure we can sort it at the weekend.
