Kona Ku Serial Number List - update 23/12/23

[al-onestare]

I dont see or feel another digit after the 1
I would need to remove paint where the serial numbers are

So after further investigation Franceso can feel another 1, so we're going to go with:

H9A00511 16" 1998 Bright Green - Hodaka, 1999, Control Code A, October, 0511 (Franceso), hard to make out second 1

What I can see and feel is :
H9A0051
Thats it
I will try to remove the paint eventualy and send a better picture
I guess my frame is a mystery

Maybe there was a mistake on the serial number

Admin update. I now have an offline working Excel list of these SNs. Screw you hackers!

Would putting the lists in the RB be Wiki appropriate?

Hi, I also found one in Montréal at the beginning of the summer. I restored it a few months ago, but just found out about this registry. The bike is in good condition, no cracks. There is unfortunately a dent on the top tube, but it does not worry me too much since it is not that big and that I won't be riding it very hard. Still keeping an eye on it!

This appears to be a 1997 model by Enigma, size 19", serial no. KU9702050. Color is blue.

Let me know if you need anything else, this is the first time I use this forum (in fact, I created this account to add my bike to the registry!)

Wow.

Absolutely wow.

Just look at that colour!!!

Pip would be flipping his lid looking at this. Thank you for registering and sharing this absolute stunner. I'll add it to the list later this week.

Added:

KU9702050 19" 1997 cable routing, blue 1997 decals - metallic Blue (similar to 1997 Kilauea SE) - welded '97 February number 50 (Guigui58 )

Lovely to have a new sequential entry, so we now have #50, 51 and 52 from the February batch.

Wind up the klaxon, we have another 97 Ku! Two in a month is unheard of! Very sadly, and predictably, it's cracked at the headtube, which just emphasises how rare and special @Guigui58 example is.

Just look at that paint scheme. The new owner says it's more gold, but that very much is green/gold, especially in contrast with the yellow flame edging. I've never seen this combo before - absolutely stunning!

I've asked the owner to confirm the last 2 digits as they're out of shot, but it's defo from the 97 February run of Altitude Ku's.

 

[al-onestare]

Confirmed. This is the 8th recorded 1997 Ku.



KU9702057 16" 1997 cable routing, 1997 decals - Metallic Red with Metallic Green/Gold flames with Yellow edging, number 57 (Delvin McPherson). Cracked headtube.
