Kona Cindercone '90 - It's maybe a love thread.....

[Colinmac]

Help me date the year of my first decent bike... (I'm getting old and the years are getting fuzzy)

(Not including the yellow and white Dawes Ascent I broke in 2 months from new!). I had a Kona Cindercone - bought from Bike Tech in Cheltenham - around 90/91 maybe? It was £499. Man I used to drool at it before buying it - BikeTech was like a sort of art gallery - one bike per window with nice lighting at night..

It was a white with colour speckled frame - with Suntour kit on. I found someone's picture of theirs on here, so have attached ...

Any literature on it? Decent pics in better res?

Looks like an 89' cindercone to me

To be fair - I think it was '89 I bought it - but it seems soooo long ago....

I'm going to 'nod' to that.

Anyone got a brochure scan ?

Wah. That's it! - the 1990 is my baby. Cripes.

Please don't make me try and track one down now. I really don't have the room...

Just a few days ago I was planning on selling all my bikes... Then I found this forum of nutters. And some of you make me seem quite rational....

:twisted:

Can't tell the colours from the pic, but does it look like mine? If so it's a 90. I can send you the catalogue scans from 88 and 90 if you PM your email addy.

Can see now by the red on the seat tube that it's a 90 you have posted there.

Loads of them about, generally for less than £100... go for it... make room.

 

[Kona Paul]

Picked mine up for £45 + shipping, so I say go for it. If I decide to sell mine I'll let you know.

In a world of perfection, I'd like a minty '90 then. With all original kit. Think that's a ridiculous notion some er 18 years later ?
