FS Kona King Kahuna

[konaman1]

My lovely King Kahuna frame for sale its a 1998 in a size 19" and l am only parting with it as its a size too big for me.

l shipped it over from its original owner in the USA in April as a birthday pressie to myself!

Its in great condition apart from the usual cable rub a bit of chain suck/slap and a pin sized dent 10mm away from the BB. Hopefully the pics will give a good indication of the condition.

The welds on this frame are superb and definitely up there with Merlin and Litespeed.

The frame tubing is made from aircraft grade Ti Al3 v2.5 and the drop outs and BB are Ti 6Al 4v

The frame weighs 3.5lbs

lm after £650.00 PAY PAL GIFT which includes the shipping in a proper frame box chock full of foam and bubble wrap and the pewter CK headset.

lf you want to collect it from Hove with cash that is fine also.

l'll knock £50 off if you dont want the CK.

Hope fully the Link should take you to photobucket!

Please ignore the crank and brake pics now deleted.

There should be around 20 pics on there, they are very honest and l have taken with the flash on and off.

The marks are very superficial and could easily be scotchbrited out.

The marks are very superficial and could easily be scotchbrited out.

Wouldn't it make sense to do that and then photo the frame again???

Right folks, this is probably in the wrong place now but friday night, last bump before ebay tomo.

l took on board what some of you have said about polishing out the marks and l spent 45 minutes with decreasing grades of wet and dry.

The results are very good, so good in fact l am struggling to get a decent shot as my camera isn't the best and the flash keeps reflecting back. Got a few with some bright lighting so will upload them to photobucket in a mo.
Cheers, Matt

More pics are up now.

The first nine are the after pics.

The chain slap marks are pretty much non existant now, the chain suck is considerably lessened and lm positive with more time and perhaps a rubbing compound this could be greatly minimised. You cant see it behind the chain set anyway.

l haven't bothered with the cable rub as it is quite close to the decals and l dont think its worth the risk as they are in good shape.

Cheers, Matt
