Handsome bike! What an excellent find. Looking foward to your renovation.

Hopefully done by now as the post is 8yrs old

Hi everyone, first post on here.

Just picked up a 1996 Kona Kilauea which I is in a barley ridable state.
My question is where does it fall in the pecking order. I had a look in the catalogue and assume that it's a high level hard tail with rigid forks.

EXPLOSIF
AA
MINI-MULA

KILAUEA
CINDERCONE
LAVA DOME
FIRE MOUNTAIN
HAHANNA

From what I can tell this has a few of the original parts but not everything. I will do a proper inventory when I give it a clean up.

Its a good one ! In '96 cost me a grand in UK. Mine was sadly stolen after only 3 weeks of ownership. Had a selle Italia flite titanium in red fitted . Swapped for red grips as well . Never did get it back.
one of only 20 *17" frame bikes imported to Britain that year.

I had one in 96 . Stolen after 3 weeks. Would pay a decent reward to get it back frame no. 6085104..
