kona

Hi, I’ve been searching for a cool retro bike for a while and have decided a Kona maybe a great starting point to restore something and ride. I would like a light steel frame, is there much difference in weight between a 1992-3 frame and and 1994-1995 frame? I would be looking for a lava dome...

Just sharing the start of my restoration project on what is a surprisingly original 1996 Kona Koa. The photos tell the story. The only things that aren't original are the tyres and the grips. The headset and BB are sound so I'll leave those alone. The front mech is toast so a replacement is the...

Hello folks - anyone willing to part with the following? Velocity Stem O-beam seatpost (27.0mm) - I've actually got the seatclamp bits but my post was destroyed during removal as it was incredibly stuck

As is usually the case, I went to my local bike charity/shop to donate some parts and frames in an effort to clear my garage and reclaim a little space and then came back with more bits. In this case, I was taken with a dirty but very original looking Cinder Cone. I've always loved the look of...

This bike was abandoned next to a dumpster and I have checked through all sources and can't find any sign of it having been reported stolen. It's in pretty rough shape, and I'm trying to figure out if it's worth fixing or if I should just give it to one of those bike donation places. I'm hoping...

I'm selling my 2000 Kona Nunu 19". It's had a full strip down and rebuild, with some lovely Fox shocks adorning the front instead of the horrendous Rock Shox Jett forks they originally came with. Collection from GL10, Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, near J13 M5. Price £160 but open to offers...

Introducing my latest purchase, John Balmer's 1995 Kona Sex Too. I recently purchased this 1995 Kona Custom Cruiser, from a personal friend of former Kona employee John Balmer. I had originally passed on this one, but I couldn't stop thinking about having all three 'New for 1995' Kona bikes...

Shock and awe. That is what I felt when I woke up last Saturday, after receiving an offer for a bike I never thought I would have a chance to buy. I had slept until noon, after riding my Trek 990 until 1 AM with my friends until my Cateye batteries died, and I woke up to a message from my...

Yes i know! seldom seen. But I'm happy to part with big money to complete my King kahuna Build. Thanks

Hey folks… does anyone have a clue as to what Kona this is and what the ballpark resale value is? Thanks (:

Hi Retro folks A friend of mine gave me a fairly patinated Kona PhD frame. Thing is that I'll have brush down some severe oxidation in the rear frame including the BB area. It could be fixed with some black Hammerite and a new black carbon fork. But if I could get hold of the name of the...

Hi all, I’m in the market for a 19” Kona Lava Dome, Cinder Cone or Kilauea frame, and if possible P2 forks. Ideally located in Devon or Cornwall but can venture further into Somerset/Dorset should something nice turn up! Many thanks, Felix

Hi all, Some help if you will... I'm REALLY keen to put my P2's back on my 95 Lava Dome, but in my young stupidity and eagerness to move forward, I binned off my lovely red Control Center headset. Can anyone help me out with similar? Impact or Control Center, any colour. Pleeeeeeease...

I've been digging through catalogues all day and I can't seem to nail down which model this bike is. My best guess (and prayer) at this point is a Haole, because the rear dropouts have a window cut out that I haven't seen on any Kapu models. I have a picture of the drive side, non-drive side...

Hi all, I’m looking for some help / advice. My father was previously an avid user of retrobike under the name Kirbdug and had a small collection. Unfortunately in December he passed suddenly leaving behind some of his mountain bikes. I’ve little knowledge of the bikes, mostly because one...
