Anyone here?
I'm from the <1997 section. I've got something you might be interested in...
Where to begin? I haven't sought any new old bike for some years now, not after finally completing the Tomi Misser replica which took a lot out of me mentally and...
It's the first 19" I've seen in a very long time. If it's crack free, then it's well priced. First gen mass production Kona 4-bar design that stuck around for years and years...
A cracking time-warp build with lots of potential.

Warrenty replacement frame and forks direct from Kona UK (Mount Green) last autumn. I found a Roadhouse instead, and with a new project heading this way, I need to recoup some funds. You can find all the dimensions, spec and details online, so instead I've focused on the minor storage marks on...
Pretty sure those forks are worth a fair amount in the DH market but I could be wrong.

The real deal at a real price BUT it has a ti O-Beam, is in really nice condition and apparently, was owned by a "celebrity"...
It it worth almost £3.5k? Probably not, but defo north of £2k in my view...

This one we know a bit about from the SN list. At #138...
You know the drill! Big-up @Classiker for spotting it and sharing the details for the SN list. One of the very limited, later batch, never advertised 18" models...
One of the nicest bikes Kona has ever produced. You might be familiar with Pip's production Kilauea version. I wrote about it for Kona (sadly the article is deleted) and in that I said the Kilauea production frame was born from the season before, from a small batch made for the Torq racing team...
