This is a 1997 Kilauea. Identical frame to the 96 one on eBay, but the 96 paint and decals look relatively old-fashioned IMPO.
I believe it may have been the lightest series-production steel frame Kona ever made, lighter than the 96/97 Explosif, and they beefed them up from 98 onwards. The Hot may have been lighter, but was a sub-contracted special to the best of my knowledge.
