greetings all,
long time lurker here & finally had something post worthy :

I recently acquired this fine specimen & will be posting a serial # pic as soon as it arrives. will be keeping it largely intact, although those bars & stem are gonna be going immediately. am also thinking about losing the Bomber and just going w/a Project 2, as I will likely never be able to find or afford a '91 Explosif in my size or price range - I don't really think I'll be doing any serious riding on it anyways, tbh. all that being said, I do have a question or two for any helpful bike geeks out there :
1) what did Race Face call their aluminum flat (very low rise???) bars back in the late '90's- early '00's? been racking my brain trying to remember...same question for their head set. I can remember all their other component names easily enough, but not those two, for some reason.
2) Race Face System vs Prodigy : which was "better"? failing that, which one was lighter?
many thx in advance, llama

Thanks, myself and @Mortonm spotted this one a while back. It's defo a 97 Altitude built Hot judging by the drop-outs as far as I can tell, so it should start with HO and probably 96 after that.
I reckon it warrants it's own build thread so you can keep us all informed and up to date with your progress
One point, if you're going to ride this in anger, keep the Bombers. Simply the best fork ever made in my humble opinion.
Massive cross-over alert...what on earth is this??!

Can anyone help me ID this older Kona road bike model?
I've been digging through catalogues all day and I can't seem to nail down which model this bike is. My best guess (and prayer) at this point is a Haole, because the rear dropouts have a window cut out that I haven't seen on any Kapu models. I have a picture of the drive side, non-drive side...

Nice pickup! Had this been a 19 it would be in my garage! Maybe even had it been closer to myself. Enjoy!!greetings all,
