Its nice to see a discussion around the HeiHei King - my brother and I are fortunate enough to have matching 19" 'King's' each and they are the perfect fit for our 6' heights.
Its not just a flagship Kona, from when Konas were Konas, but a genuinely fantastic ride and better geometry and ride to my Merlin XLM.
I would quite like to add a Kona Score to the collection (ti singlespeed frame), but I'm curious to get a standard HeiHei to see what that is like too. Of course the ultimate bike would feature a pair of Ti Project 2 forks - rarer than hen's teeth and I wish I'd bought a pair of these back in the day.
As a regular rider of a HeiHei King - I can genuinely say if I didn't already have one I would happily pay £800 for a mint frame as they really are that satisfying to ride and own.

I'll just add as a Score owner, that I prefer the KK as my singlespeed. I think the Score, being a beefy freeride hardtail is more suited to gears as it makes it more versatile. A freeride bike should be usable in versatile terrain. Just my opinion however, and I could see the fun in having my Score as an SS.
If you like to race or want a proper racing feel though, the KK is better suited as the geared bike. My friend has a HH. Nice bike, just more flex in the rear triangle.

When I figure out prices, I will also be selling XTR integrated levers in excellent condition, a Bonty ti bar, a slightly used CK 1 1/8 gripnut headset, a slightly used Salsa 30.6 seatclamp in red, and possibly a few other goodies like Velocity stem, XTR 170mm cranks, Joe Murray combo cage etc.
I also have 2 new quill stems, 1 1/8", 25.4, 90mm, 110 degree unopened in packages. One is a Mounty Special in black for £20 shipped and the other is a Kalloy Uno in silver for £15 shipped.
