'95 Kona Kilauea | from new | vgc | Open to offers!

[dougbish]

Owned from new, ridden from '95 to '99, carefully stored away and used just a handful of times since is my 16" pearl white Kona Kilauea. Barring a few upgrades the bike has mostly original parts, only needs new cables to ride again (retro Attack Grip Shift included but not pictured), and is in vgc for its age. From the pics can anyone give me a ballpark selling price? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Crikey that’s lovely. No idea on price but let’s hope you’re not in the south east as that’s far too tempting

Oooohh! I don't need another Kona, I don't need another Kona, I don't need another Kona!
Sorry, not sure on price either, I'd probably put it on Ebay, starting at the absolute least you'd take then hope you get a couple of bidders fighting for it. This particular model, year and colour seems quite sought after, it's just the size that might hold it back (perfect for me though ) 18-19" are the most wanted, especially in that condition. Also the fact that a lot of bikes are struggling to sell unless super cheap at the moment.

Many thanks for the feedback. As it happens I’ve a road bike up on eBay at the mo which I’ve had to drop the price on as it isn’t selling. This Kona however is a bit more desirable so not sure I want to risk going down this route and getting little for it. Not sure really…

When I was getting the bike together I found the original MBUK review which I posted out last week to anyone interested:

Review - Kona Kilauea | from MBUK March 95'

Cut Out and Kept! In 95' I bought this bike on the strength of this very MBUK review. I kept this little piece of magazine print history which is still a joy to read... ...Oh, and I kept the bike, which I recon would still be a joy to ride! I lovingly hung up my 16" pearl white Kilauea in...
