Seat tube is 27.2mm

I wonder what tubing they used then

not sure if a 93 Kilauea had a 27.2mm seatube which was Tange Prestige Concept but then so did the 93 Explosif i'd need to check the old seatpost off the Kilauea i had.
Now i know this it makes me really want a 93 Kona Hot in the Kona sanctuary knowing they're different to an Explosif and it's not just the fact they were handbuilt lol

If anyone is interested in a trade I have the threadless fork and RaceFace headset available for a threaded triple but fork champagne and black Impact headset.

So what is the colour exactly? Gold Champagne, colour code?

I'll see if I can be helpful here. I am hoping I have the spent can of paint still at home somewhere used for my fork.

I found matching the champagne colour a challenge for sure and my selected paint is not a 100% match but close enough for me.

My stem is OG paint. I took the stem to Canadian Tire and searched their automotive section, the painted fork result is shown in the picture below.

It is a bit more gold than it should be but pretty close.

Would be great if someone knows the exact paint code for you but I'll report back if I can find the old can and duplicolor code used:

Well I got the headset and fork switched over to see how things looked and I gotta say this black bar and stem combo are fire to me! Not sure about the champagne look for this green frame? Definitely considering a black fork. The yellow decals and black components work well together.

1996 Spinner fork may keep but if your in need give me a shout.

I'd definitely go with the black forks

Ditto. That bar/stem looks great with the green
