1993 Kona Hot 18/21"

[GearlessinSeattle]

It is time to part with this HOT.
I have one of my other Unicorns on the way that has a "Merlin" riding it so I have to make room.
Full build thread here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewto ... sc&start=0

It measures 18" c-c and 21" c-t.
Top tube is 23" long.
I am including the original threaded P2 fork.
The P2 that is painted to match has a steerer tube that is a tad short if you use a Chris King headset. Before I had it painted I used a impact headset and it was perfect. I think the original owner cut the fork for a "exact" fit.
There are 2 small things wrong with the frame.
The top tube has a small dent(see photo) and one of the water bottle cage bolts sheared off when I was putting it in. Stupid aluminum ano bolts.

Please email with any questions.
The Paul brakes and Levers my be for sale at a later time so if interested we might be able to work out a package deal.

$500us shipped frame and 2 forks.

One more thing.
The decals I got from Gil and do not have a clear coat over them so you may want to do that if you intend on it being a "rider" for they may come off.

That's really nice.

When did the top tube dent happen? After the re-paint I assume?

 

[GearlessinSeattle]

No, the dent was there before. It's really not that big and unless you are looking for it you wold look right past it.
The reflection makes it jump out in the photo.
I think it must be from the handlebar hitting the top tube.
DOH!
