Kona Hei Hei Titanium 19 inch - how much is it worth?

[90sKonaHeiHei]

Hi all: This is my Kona Hei Hei Titanium bike, 19 in frame. Wondering if anyone can help verify it's a 1993 frame, and how much it'd be worth now? Thank you. Dave from Calgary, Canada.

Nice bike, the short seat-tube extension and flatter top tube would suggest later than '93, and the decal style is '94 (if they re original), so it is probably a '94 bike. You could compare the serial number to the Kona Ti S/N list to get a better idea, and you can post in that thread to get it added to the list.

A good looking 1994 specimen. As mentioned, if you can take a picture and share the SN, found stamped on the bottom of the bottom bracket, that'll confirm it's placement in the production run, a useful solidifier for prospective buyers, it should start B19.

Pricing is always tricky but HH's are pretty reliable. The 1994/5 short seat-tube extension version is sometimes seen as an inferior, less Kona-esque Kona, and that can impact the price a little. That said, if someone wants it, they'll pay for it.

In GBP, as a full bike, anywhere between £750-1,500. With shipping being what it is now, and with US tariffs, I'm afraid this is negatively impacting the volume of international buyers.

This bike was custom built for me in 1994. Was ridden seriously for a year and then sadly since then ridden only a hand full of times.

I'll gladly follow up with more detailed pictures of any parts for interested parties.

I'm 6'4" and the bike is small on me. I'd estimate 5'10 and...

I would guess the second one is a more realistic price. I've also recently seen Team Marin ti bikes listed at 1200ish Canadian.
There are quality parts on board as well, such as the magura hydraulic rim brakes and race raceface cranks. Is that syncros seatpost also titanium? I would probably list your kona at around $1500, but being late in the season, it might sit for a while, and you will probably receive $1000 offers, so be ready to dicker
