Like the hahanna, I have one the same year currently working on. How is it with the front suspension I'm not sure if I should stick to the p2s?.
I may have to sell mine once it's done which will be a shame, that or do a good enough job the mrs could have it and I could then get shot of the horrific saracen zest in the shed, and I still get to ride the hahanna!

The front suspension does work really well but it's cheap Suntour so you do get a small amount of oil on the sanctions.
It's only 80mm travel but is plenty.
I like this year and think the bronze colour works pretty well with the silver and orange decals.
Try and get her to keep it

Nice pics, ill try post some in a bit. My hahanna is in frame form only, the paint was dead, and the seat post seized in so badly I had to use heat to remove it, and ended up discolouring the paint. I've stripped her down to raw steel now, going to leave it that way for now, I will treat it with something and see how it goes, possibly adding the retro KONA decal and nothing else!
I just kind of finished my 03 firemountain and put some pics up in this section

I wasn't so lucky, mine was part of a job lot barn find I got off of eBay, I paid £25 for the lot (only wanted it for a wheel and a few bits and bobs) included was this hahanna frame, p2s , velocity stem and annoyingly a seized seat post. I was just going to polish it up and put it on eBay hoping to cover my costs for the other bits, instead I found retrobike and the more I looked at the frame (whilst trying to get the f@%¥*#g seat post out) I found myself getting attached to the skinny steel frame!
I'm going raw steel and seeing how it goes, if the corrosion gives me too much of a headache ill look into getting it sprayed

Will see, I will probably clear coat it and see what happens.
The job lot was just tyres etc, mostly cheap stuff, suspension forks (unbranded) I sold most of it on, really only wanted it for a disc mount wheel for my firemountain, so the Hahanna hasn't really cost me anything!
