Devout Dirtbag
Okay, I did not want to feel left out with all the Kona Hei Hei threads going on here so, even though I do not own this bike any more (much to my shame), I found an old photo of myself with the bike so I thought I'd post it here.
You will have to excuse the poor image my my old Canon Ixus APS did not take great resolution pictures.
This was circa '94 or '95 and was near Talgarth in the Black Mountains, and yes I give you permission to laugh at my cycling kit of the day....

The kit on the bike was:
Kona Hei Hei 19 inch 1993
Pace MXCD forks, Mavic 217 rims on blue Hope hubs with Richie spokes, and Richie Z-Max tyres.
Royce BB, Cooks RSR cranks (beautiful pewter color), Richie Ti pedals spinning Pace rings (48T top) and SPR TI bolts.
XTR Front, XT Rear with GripShift
XTR cantis (this is pre-V brake) with blue X-Lite chicken Stix.
A Flite Saddle on a Blue Ringle Moby post.
Control Tech stem and Pace bars for steering
This bike weighed a ridiculous 22lb though some of the kit was not the strongest. I seem to remember that the Mavic 217 rims lasted only 6 months before the XTR brakes eat their way through the rim and the wheels collapsed.
Oh, back in the day.....
