Nice!

Well, this was at the time, the top-end Kona full-suss frame and with Easton tubing, is Kula-esque in quality (which was high back then). You don't see many of them either.

If it's crack and dent free (got to check those welds, especially on the rear pivots, with a microscope), with original decals then anywhere between £100-200. That's a wide range just because the market is pretty static and it's new year. Some pictures would help with the valuation if you have any.

Re:

I will dig it out of the loft tomorrow for some pics.Its completely crack free,Im the second owner,I know the first owner and he used it specifically as an xc bike so it wasnt ragged around.Sort of between minds selling it as its such a solid example.

Re:

Pics as promised,whats not visible in the photos is the little surface pitting marks on the frame that I assure you are merely cosmetic.How do I accurately size this frame?

Re:

Same as the rigid frames: very top of the seat tube to the very bottom. Looks around 17/18" to me.

After seeing the pics can anyone suggest its worth?

It's really tough to say. The market is static to put it mildly. Anything between £100 and 200. If you're desperate to sell I'd stick it at £50 on ebay and see what happens.

Re:

I`d rather keep it in the community here.I need funds for a decent modernish xc fork.
