1994 kilauea - overhaul, new pics & spec check

this is my kona killer in 18"
1994 tange prestige
few changes to be made in the next week or so, cranks are going to change to m952, forks are going to be project 2's, stem is changing but im not sure what to yet and im sorting the rear hub (hope) when i can get round to building it

this is by far the nicest bike i have ever ridden- so fast on the singletrack

Nice Kilauea!!!!

Enjoy.

Cool pics need to get some full bike ones when you've done

Very nice, I would change the cranks for silver or grey XTR ones to finish it off nicely, the red cranks dont seem to blend well but otherwise nice Kona you have there though

thanks , i had m952's until last week and they didnt look too good so i went back to the l&m's ive got my eye on a pair of cooks but im not 100% about those either!

Cranks

Race face turbines, only way to go on a Kona. Has to be, some top kit on there, not tempted to run a set of Suss forks on it? If you want a better Saddle I have a Leather topped NOS WTB sst 2K with the Logo branded into to the top (not stitched)
