->bought new in 2003, ridden only 50km :shock: price 12500 crowns -> about 1300eur http://www.blocket.se/angelholm/Mountainbike_Kona_King_Kikapu_28501287.htm?ca=2&w=3&last=1

OMG that's sweet 8) For me, bikes of this era are are the most interesting "retro".. I'm too young to get really excited about some canti-equipped 80/90's bikes :) Does the DH3 have the original 55mm (or was it 60mm) travel? I had one of those forks too, bought brand new in 99' and sold...

last post/edit today about this subject, I promise :D serial number: F804K0840 I think I saw a post by Anthony somewhere saying that the first number meant the last digit of the built year -> 1998 ok I'm off to bed, thanks for your attention :oops:

got it today! And oh isn't it just about the cutest itsy bitsy teeny weensy little mini bike ever<3 :D ...thankfully my girlfriend's almost as excited as I am :D Really need to get some touch-up paint (it isn't as bad as it looks) and the white bits ASAP! Yeah I thought about...

http://www.dirtrag.com/print/article.php?ID=54&category=features ...The NuNu is available now, but you won't find it in Kona's 1998 catalog - it's a mid-year introduction... ...I liked the yellow-to-blue-fade paint job - a classy touch at this price point...

No worries, I'm suspicious too - but got it dirt cheap so no worries! 8) So they S&B scheme was for the Us-built ones.. that makes sense :oops: I have a couple of close-up shots and it seems that it has a replaceable der. hanger. Most likely it was painted at the dealership or...

1993 18spd "shimano" ..frame size was huge for 11 year old me:D At that time these "bike-in-a-box" deals were all the rage. Basically thay were cheap chinese bikes that you had to assemble yourself. Kept breaking down all the time even thogh it was assempled by the shop :D 1995 Kona Fire...

This one gets shipped tomorrow.. my girlfriend's bike to be. Bought from a Finnish Kona dealership in 1997, so shouldn't be a fake. The font matches 1997 and the font colour is also right for S&B. Is this some weird scandinavian model or did you get these in UK & US also? Couldn't find it...

If I remember correctly, 50mm factory stock. Here in Finland a LOT of these forks had longtravel kits by Rtech installed, that would boost the travel to 75mm :) Those forks performed really well compared to all the elastomer jumpsticks, bit like a flexier version of the bombers :)

Did you try the ebay? Might go nicely if you point out that it can be easily built into a singlespeed fullsus!

Re: hmm Yeah, it was expensive on this side of the border too! :D That was part of the reason why I wanted it now: back then it was one of these unobtainable, pro level things 8) Stupid me, I should have given the syncros flat bars a go today.. BEFORE I fitted grips with hairspay and...

red ano turbines look real nice with the black satin frame! 8)

The 130mm Z1 would probably be quite a chopper :D But something like Z1 BAM would be to try out as I had one BITD too.. Raising the front end shouldn't be too much of a problem, and might actually be a benefit on the rocky&rooty trails by raising the BB a bit too. Guess I'll just have to try...

A couple of pics from todays ride.. the bike rides great! :) a bit dirty... Haven't found time to repair the xtr mech, too busy riding ;) Also got a set of black truvativ firex cranks, not so high-end but most of the components are dark/black already.. A question for the...
