Poorly listed.

The listing looks alright to me. Has pics, has all of the right words. Not the best listing, maybe, but covers all the check points.
 
Although it has been relisted, the new listing persists in the same errors, but I guess you can't expect a pawn shop to know much about what they have for sale. So I suppose it's not surprising that there is no evidence there that the bike is actually a Kilauea, aluminium or otherwise.

Just guessing really, but I'm inclined to think that this actually is a 1993 Kilauea, even though the colour is yet another new one that I've never seen before. It could be a later respray, but you don't often see resprays with the original blue Tange Prestige Concept sticker on the seat tube. The decals are authentic 1993 and I think you can just about make out the tapered and ovalised shape of the Concept top and down tubes there.

Other aspects like the Judy forks are later than 1993, but its last upgrade can't have been much after 95/6 as it still has cantis. I would say it's quite a good retro bike, and quite rare if the paint is original, and it might sell cheap in view of the source and the poor listing.
