Very classy frame! 1993-1994?
I would go for a more classic look. Maybe not a 100% period correct, but nearly. Fork, cranks, headset, tyres and wheels are "wrong" in my opinion. A mix with old xtr, xt and v-brakes looks also a bit weird.
This frame deserves the best!
1994...I bought the bike a month ago with the Rock Shox Judy and I understand what you mean by going for a more classic look. If I had it my way, I would definitely replace the fork with either a Project 2 fork or an old school Manitou, the stem with either a Syncros or Control Tech, Cranks with Cook Bros., a Chris King Headset and some Paul cantis. Unfortunately, I am on a very tright budget and most of the parts that I have on the bike currently were from my parts bin from my previous bikes. No worries...one day it will be transformed it's classic look. BTW I still have the original Kona "Dog Collar" cable stop for future tranformation of the bike.
