kona

I finally got my hands on a Kona, and I only waited 30 years to do it.. What was it Rutger Hauer said about Good things come to those who wait? I bought it locally and Im well aware that I paid over the odds, but given it's exactly the bike I always wanted when I was a young man and how good it...

I'd love to track down my old DH race bike from 1998, but keen to see if I can find a small/medium blue 1998 Kona Stab and some Boxxer 151's. From memory i had the black long travel linkage on there too. Completely forgot about that until I just saw some photos on line!

kona lava dome frameset with project two forks, velocity stem, seatpost clamp, dog collar, headset, poor paint and dents. yes there's enought traces of usage, but all threads are good. forks are sus-corrected. makes a stiff rider that you can lean to a wall. asking 170€ plus shipping. will...

I'm looking to sell this 1998 Kona Hot and would like to know what you think it's worth. Frame size 16" (41cm) Shimano XTR Thompson stem and seatpost Chris King headset Mavic Ceramic Rims Hügi hubs

New project day! This arrived this morning courtesy of Retro Geek and 55 quid (included post, I'm happy - though I did break the cardinal rule of never buying a frame without the forks to go with it...) Dog collar and original seat clamp came with but are removed here. I've wanted a Kona for...

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, I found these recently, and I wanted to share: https://www.cyclerobert.com/en/search/kona/ https://www.cyclerobert.com/en/copy-of-dr-dew-brake-lever-extension.html https://www.cyclerobert.com/en/dr-dew-brake-lever-extension.html I bought a couple pairs of Extension 25s, and...

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...

It’s a repaint. No decals. T9109 0306. Explosif? Shimano dropouts. Not fluted. 27.0 seatpost. No rack fitting, probably removed.

Kona explosif 2002 - £200 Parkpre pro image - £80 Let me know if there’s any questions :) Could post but collection from Bath preferred. Cheers !

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. Collection from GL10, Stonehouse in Gloucestershire, near J13 M5. Price £160 but open to offers...
