New Kona Ku find - KU148

Seattle Goodwill very good to me…
New to the Ku chat, suddenly interested in how many of these exist.
Also, there is another Ku on eBay. Kinda rough and serial # kinda hard to make out.

Brilliant! Well done, it's a first gen Ku, 1995, looks 18" (if you could measure the full seat-tube length that'd be ace). Well used, but that's all good. Most of all, are there any cracks? Please check! Added here.

Doesn’t appear to have any cracks after flashlight inspection. Seat tube measures 18” from center bb to top of seat tube. Also, you probably can’t see it from the pix, but at very bottom of down tube is a Truckee Bike Works sticker, placing its origin in Truckee, CA.

Top work, top find, top bike!
