Kona Stab Primo 2000/2001

[Matlockmeat]

Hello, I'm looking at getting a Kona stab primo and wanted to know if the 2001 frame is different to the 2000 frame? They look identical. Does anyone know of there were any geometry difference?

I've checked out all the old kona catalogues online and the 2000 frame shows as 67 degree head angle and the 2001 shows as 65.5.

I'm wondering if this is a mistake because the 2002 and 2003 show as a 67 degree head angle.

Anyone got any info on this?

Hello and welcome to Retrobike.

Your question would be better placed in the Bike Chat 1998 --> section here:

However, it would appear that the 2000 Stab Primo has a short travel Marzocchi Monster T Fork, compared to the longer 190mm travel Marzocchi Shiver on the 2001 model, which could account for the steeper Headtube angle of the 2000 model.

To be honest, I know very little about full suspension bikes, but the Kona Technical manuals may be of more help than the catalogues:
