1997 Kula in Gloucestershire

[Anthony]

Quite rare, size 18 not 16, collect-only, could be a bargain

Yes...looks OK from picture. Have asked seller some Q's and better pictures but no reply :? :x

Listed as LX groupset with 517's...shouldn't it be XT/XTR with 217's? or maybe there was a frame only option then?

Note Q&As:
"Q: elo richard.. liking ur bike was just wondering how old is was ?? thanks .. regards lee
A: I bought the frame and forks in 2000. They were from a couple of brothers who were racing for Kona and had a fleet of Kulas. They were riding the next year's model so were able to offload to me. I then added the LX group set and had wheels built by evans bike shop"

Zero eBay transactions. Can ring alarm bells, or can just mean any failings are down to innocence. They have such respectable-sounding names though. A couple called Richard and Lynne Clutterbuck have *got* to be on the level, haven't they?

Anthony, I'm sure they are clean living christians for sure.
Nothing about their previous ID would suggest otherwise.

reply from the seller..but no better pictures. I'm out of this one.

The frames in reasonable nick for a 10year old
bike. There is one ding on the rear of the BB
mounting but it's in pretty good nick. I just
haven't had time this week to post any more
pictures I'm afraid.
