The mythical Kona Ku!

19", bright orange (really bright!), Handbuilt in the USA by Altitude Cycles (prev Mountain Goat) of Chico in California.

Easton Elite tubing throughout and very light! Tips the scales at 3.5lbs.

Kona Tech have been very helpful in verifying this is the 99th out of the 100 frames made in 1997.

Still with it's original paintwork and decals, there are cable rub marks, some chain suck and some paint rub on the chain and seat stays. Frame is free from dents and cracks.

Rides very very nicely - and certainly one the rarest Konas!

Asking just £170 posted in the UK

My mate has a 98 one of these it was originally a gorgeous light metallic
Looking green .. He had it re-finished red a few years ago :roll:

Still trying to wrestle it from him :)
 
A bit more information:

Here's the sizing info... For reference I am 5' 10" and it fits really nicely. I would think it would fit anyone from 5' 8" - 6' 2".
