1997 Kona King Kahuna Hei Hei

[Matttymm]

Honestly. I don’t want to think about it to be honest. There was a point where I got a bit scared TBH how much it was costing me. I’ve officially stopped spending on it twice already but people have been really great making suggestions and once you realise they are right you’re kind of “all in” on it.

Needless to say I wont be building another one.

Like others I’ve sold a few things to balance it out.

IG-90 chain and box one Seatpost clamp

Decals and ordered with Gil.

Very exciting.

Need some help please !!?

The Curve handlebar landed today from the US. Super chuffed to have sourced one.

It weighs the same as the Titanium one I have but is 2cm shorter. 56 vs 58.

The titanium one is lovely but I can’t place the brand. Same colour titanium as the frame.

The curve one is aluminium but bike original and nice golden colour.

Can’t choose between them. It’s like choosing between children.

Help !!!

I think titanium on this occasion. But it's a close call!

Ti for sure (The Ti bars as probably J&L)

looking forward to seeing the new decals

 

[Matttymm]

I don’t think the bar is J&L as I don’t think they came in 58cm. Could be wrong though - could only find 56.

True 580 is a little wider than most

 

[Matttymm]

New decals applied.

Seatpost and seatclamp in situ.

 

[Matttymm]

Crank decals added.

Colour match on the green and Kona custom is definitely better (assuming these are Gils repro`s)
