    Kona Serial Number Lists: Hot: Ku: Titanium

    I didn’t know the best time to do this, or indeed how to put this into words, but here goes; To summarise; as this bloody awful disease progresses, I will be less able to contribute to the site. Firstly, there is my general knowledge of all things Kona X.C., which it could be said isn’t quite...

    Dating Kona Frames - not in the biblical sense!

    With reference to the debate that was mentioned on the Kona Una thread here, this is my opinion on dating a Kona frame; the Custom Program models in particular. My view is that regardless of the Livery style displayed on a frame, its Catalogue year is determined by its Tubing type (and...

    Caught By The Fuzz

    This could open a can of worms, or even cause some heated debate, but.... Has anyone been stopped and questioned by the Police when outside away from home? Where in the country were you? Were you walking, in a car, on a motorbike, on a road bike, on a mountain bike either on a track, cycle...

    Kona Lava Dome 1998 19"

    The beautifully coloured Palmer Green 1998 Kona Lava Dome. The seller claims that, "The bike is ready to ride away." Mmm, well I think the Seat Post set-up needs a little tweak first :shock: . Listed as 20", but it is a 19" by my reckoning. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Men-s-20-Inc ...

    Kona Hei Hei 1997 18" Gumtree

    An earlier 1997 Hei Hei 18" with some nice components, including Pace Evo RC36 Forks. The seller seems to have owned the bike from new: https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/kona ... 1358615325 Pip

    2000 Kona Kula-Cone: U.K. e-Bay

    This is slightly curious. At first glance this appears to be a listing for a 2000 Cinder Cone. The colour and some Decals look the same, but after that, it seems to be another model. 2000 Kona Kula-Cone: 2000 Cinder Cone 18 Kula by Philip Mock, on Flickr The Top Tube, Down Tube and Seat Tube...

    2000 Kona King Kahuna – do they exist?

    I'm still holding out for a 2000 Kona King Kahuna! Some of you may have noticed that on the Kona Titanium Serial Number List, there is a blank space under the entry for the 2000 King Kahuna! Never seen one; zilch; bugger all :!: I’m hoping that the situation with the 2000 King Kahuna turns...

    Kona Custom Frame Serial Numbers:

    With a little encouragement from a couple of members on here, I seem to have talked myself into compiling a List / Register of serial numbers for the Kona Hot. The Kona Titanium list was compiled as result of my thread asking if anyone knew how TST serialised the Kona Hei Hei frames. This...

    Kona Hei Hei 1997 19”

    A lovely example in 19” with the rarer Blue Decals. I have filed this as a 1996/7, as it has 1996 Cable Routing, but is fitted out with 1997 Decals. International shipping seems to be available, but a complete bike from Calgary in Canada to the U.K. will be very expensive – read my 1998 Kona...

    1996 Kona Explosif 19" frame

    For some reason I have a picture of this frame on file dated as April 2016 with the exact same components fitted - just a different location! Anyway, Columbus Max OR Tubing with a couple of dents in the Top Tube, and a stuck Seat Post. £50 start and cheap shipping...

    Kona Hei Hei 20"

    Again, another classic from this seller. This time it's a 20" Hei Hei that seems to be a 1991 - hard to be certain without a serial number. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-Kona-He ... SwLVtdejbO Pip.

    1997 Kona King Kahuna 19"

    Another classic from this seller. A 19" 1997 King Kahuna fitted with some, or possibly all replica Decals. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-KONA-Hei- ... SwbANdd85j Pip

    1995 /1996 Hei Hei U.S. e-Bay

    Sándor sent me this earlier for my records, so I won't take the credit for finding this one. It is somewhat unusual, although I have one other similar example on record. It has the short Seat Tube extension / flatter Top Tube 1995 Geometry, but fitted out with what appear to be original 1996...

    1998 King Kahuna 17"

    If those are the original Decals, then this is a fine example. It's a bit odd to list it with a "finishing kit" although it would make for a top build. It goes without saying that I've asked for the serial number. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193069297125 Pip

    1994 Haole - Ti painted

    This was outed by Alasdair via Craigslist back in November 2018. viewtopic.php?f=43&t=239743&p=2899784&hilit=Haole#p2899784 It is the only example of a 1994 Haole that I have seen. I have asked for the serial number :wink: . https://www.ebay.com/itm/Titanium-Kona- ... 2641273379 94 Painted...

    Kona Hei Hei 19"

    This was previously listed and discussed back in Feb 2018, with the same pictures and description in the advert. I have put it in this section as I would suggest that it is a 1994 model, despite sporting some 1998 Decals. Pick up only from Waterlooville. I'll try for a serial number...

    2 Versions of 1999 Kona Muni Mula

    I’m curious to know if anyone has noticed that there are two different versions of the 1999 Kona Muni Mula. The 1999 Catalogue is of little help as the picture is small, and could hardly be described as a photograph – more an artist’s impression. The Green outline to the new 1999 “Go Faster”...

    Kona Score

    I won't take the credit for spotting this, as a link was sent to me by romanrinos. This is a new serial number for my records, which now total 5 frames. If you read my Kona Ti Serial Number thread, you will see that the last three digits do not reflect the total number of Score frames built. A...

    Bike Stolen - Police say insufficient information
