98+ BoTM Wadsy's 2010 "Pipmeister" Kona Kilauea was the 98+ bike of the month for September 2023

Forgot to post this one up the last time we held a 98+ BoTM competition. 18 bikes were entered and @wadsy managed to haul in over 40% of the votes. Martin is the custodian of this former Phillip "Pipmeister" Mock owned Kona. For those that don't know, Pip was one of the resident Kona gurus here on Retrobike, and all round lovely bloke, who sadly passed away last summer. Pip's fleet of Konas are now spread across the retro community, and are documented in this thread

The 2010 Kilauea is a rare bird, and you can read more about @wadsy's bike in his build thread. Also check out Kona ambassador @al-onestare's write up on the Kona-cog here

RIP PIP
