88/89 Kona Cinder Cone 18" centre to top
Fairly original example with Mountain LX group set, Deore LX hubs on Araya rims.
When I got it, I took it to bits and degreased, cleaned, regreased and polished everything for a sympathetic resto. Fitted new Panaracer Smoke & Dart tyres along with a...
Hello everyone,

Hi,
I've been dormant on this forum for a while. I restored a Kona Explosif from 1993 and posted it here
This summer (2024) I got into filming even more and got myself a drone.
This video is a mashup of my interests:
a) Nineties bikes
b) Fiddling with a new toy, a drone from...
Looking for a larger frame, similar era, open to anything. This is a 20” frame and coming to the realisation that it may be too small for me, I’m 6,3”. Looking for swaps :)
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.

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...
