As I bought it:

There's just a tiny, hardly noticeable, dent on the top tube as seen here above the "S". It actually looks worse in this picture then it does in person

The decals are in rough shape, but the paint is fairly good.

The surprising thing is, as bad as the bike originally looked, it was built with decent to good components. Except for the stem and saddle, I will be using all the other parts that I took off it.
Those are really good wheels I took off. They were just wrong for the Kona. I have already used them on another build:

The forks were another pleasant surprise. When I got the bike, the Mag 21 had no "spring" to them. I thought I'd be tossing them. But I pumped them up, and after two weeks, there are no signs of leakage.
