Yellow 1995 Kona Kilauea

[Jens_BM]

I have just bought a Kona Kilauea and it cost me 7£
It have ritchey cantilever, Bontrager titanium handlebar, xt gear, gripshift, Kona brakelevers and Sugino crank.. It seems to be from 1995 but it is yellow :shock: I can't find any year that a Kilauea should be Yellow but the paint seems to be original. I can post pictures tomorrow.. Hope you can help

Thanks: Jens

Re:

My recent purchases include a mint 'Combo Cage' & water bottle and an original Kona shop floor tag which would have been hung off the handlebars. I am indeed an anorak!

£7 was an absolute bargain....

Re: What year is my Kona Kilauea from?

Re:

I have tried to take a picture, hope it's not too dark. It looks like a 1995 and 1995 equipment just wrong color

Re:

Some of the non-UK markets had different colours - seem to remember that this yellow was available in Spain, spec should give the year.

It's not a '98 Kila, they are Munificent Mustard, not yellow. :evil:
