Very nice indeed,looks like a 1995 but I`m no expert

 

[sweety]

Very nice once you've ridden it i'm sure your fall in love with iwith how it handles/feels

 

[choppstar10]

looks nice, I might have to email the seller for some weight saving tips!! 9kg?? yeah right!! helium in the tyres maybe?

Nice bike, and a good soild starting point!!

It's a nice bike at a fair price - a good price even - Konas seem to be fetching more and more these days.
I was watching that on e-bay; just out of curiosity, not with a view to buying as I've got too many already.
Hope it's up to scratch when you pick it up

ps - I agree it's a 95er

What should I look out for when checking it over .....

I did point out in another thread that it's a size 18, not 19 as stated. I thought you were looking for a 19?

I'm always a bit suspicious when a seat post is low down like that. But I'm sure you were going to test that it moves anyway.

Aside from that, it looks good value. I think Woodsman (AKA Pete) has one like that, and has been very pleased with it.
