    18/19in Kona Fire Mountain frame, SS wheelset and other bits

    Kona Fire Mountain frame 94/95 model in 18 or 19in I stripped this back to bare metal 2 years ago, resprayed it (5 x coats white) decalled it up with gil_m decals and then put 2 layers of laquer on it. The vast majority is helitaped so most of the marks etc are just to the tape or tape...

    Did Kona ever make...

    94 Kona Fire Mountain headset size?

    Can someone just confirm what the actual headset size is on a 1994 Kona Fire Mountain? I'm in the process of putting it all together and think either I've fooked up or the headset is missing some bits!
