Completely Original 1996 Kona Condercone Advice

[StuWhite]

Hi

Back in 96, I saved all my pocket money and bought a blue Kona Cindercone i think it is 19" but would have to check (it may be 20") and took it out for a few gentle rides in the forest. A week or so later, Yo-Yos became cool so I bought myself a Duncan and put the bike in the garage.

That is pretty much where it has stayed ever since.

Its in really good condition - I dont think there are any chips or scratches of note. We've moved house a couple of times so there may be the odd mark. When I bought it, i had the forks swapped for some RST suspension forks which are still on the bike but i do have the original grey project two forks wrapped in some bubble wrap. All other parts are original.

Ive had a good look through the forums and cant seem to find anything similar to guage value. Is it worth me going to the effort of polishing and photographing the bike to sell? If it could fetch in the hundreds rather than tens, I might think about it.

Many Thanks in advance

Stu

If you are unable to determine how much you want to sell your own possession for, the correct place to enquire about valuations is here:

Tallpaul Thanks very much for your help with that - as I said I did try to research the value via this and other sites but you're obviously far more familiar with the content of this site than me and probably much, much more clever.

Always nice to receive such a warm welcome to a new group from a well established member

Hi Stu...may sound a bit to the point but consider this a mo..and it doesn't only happen here,most recreational forums get the same..like..I see it a lot on motorbike forums I'm with, people sign up just to sell after a couple of posts.

Bet your Kona would be a great find for someone,what better than a bike stuck in a time warp :shock:

Hope you have luck getting it valued,best pop it in the thread suggested for a response,you thread would eventually sink to the bottom of the pile here..
